(Season 5, Episode 5b)Do you think it’s taboo to talk about Menopause? Guess again!
In our Inclusive Designers Podcast “Design + Menopause” episode, our experts introduced us to a unique and vital concept: Menopause Cafes. These gatherings provide safe, brave spaces for individuals to share their experiences with menopause, free from judgment and stigma.
Menopause Educator Lisa Scully and Women’s Health Advocate Dr. Nathalie Bonafe know first-hand the global reach and impact of these cafes since they facilitate them both in person and online. They share their insight of how these can empower women to connect, learn, and find community during these significant life stages.
IDP is excited to share that there are now spaces like Menopause Cafes that focus on breaking the silence and taboos around menopause, and provide a way to foster open dialogue for women in need of support.

Guests: Stephen Parker & Robyn Linstrom

Inclusive Designers Podcast: Currently, there’s a significant rise in people with mental health issues. But the current system often sends a person in crisis to an already overloaded emergency department. Creating separate Crisis Stabilization Centers can play a key role in addressing the need for better mental health care treatment.
But just what do you need to know to design an effective facility that both reduces the stigma, and takes evidence-based research into consideration?
Guests Stephen Parker & Robyn Linstrom share their very knowledgeable views on the specific challenges designers may face. Spoiler alert, the best solutions use Trauma-informed Design principles!
Guests:
Stephen Parker (AIA NOMA NCARB LEED AP) – is a dedicated Behavioral and Mental Health Planner. Stephen is a proponent of “architect as advocate” for colleague, client, and community alike. Advocating by design for humanity at its most vulnerable, elevating communities in crisis, and serving those that suffer in silence.
His projects range from community-scale recovery centers to expansive mental health campuses— using dignity-driven design research for communities in crisis— with work ranging from China, India, Kenya and across the US & Canada.
Quotes: “Trauma-informed Design principles really are a key factor in informing those very community specific needs to avoid coercion and help individuals in crisis in a humane and safe way”
“We strive really hard to design for dignity. We balance and harmonize the evidentiary with the empathetic, and really championing that lived experience, talking to those individuals in crisis, the family members that have endured it with them, and not make assumptions”
“Every design decision will help or hinder an individual in crisis. And we have a responsibility as designers to do better”
– Contact: Stephen Parker, Stantec
Robyn Linstrom (AIA, EDAC, LEED AP) – is a healthcare architect and senior associate at Stantec, with a passion for behavioral health and designing for healing environments. She believes that the built environment can be a partner in supporting healing.
According to her bio, Robyn is focused on changing design from the institutional to a more therapeutic environment. This challenge drives the work she does. Her goal as a behavioral health specialist is to de-stigmatize psychiatric facilities— with design that provides an environment of hope, dignity, and support.
Quotes: “It’s about creating this environment that allows people in crisis to come in and accept treatment to get out of that crisis that they’re in.
“I want to help reduce stigma. I want to be part of that solution that we could all find ourselves in a situation of needing help at any time”
“It’s really nice to see the gaps being bridged in peer support and all of the different things that we’ve been working on as advocacy is making it into the design world”
“My biggest hope working on these types of facilities is to make this a conversation. Let’s design places that are healing and support people”

Accessibility is often an afterthought in product design. Even tech with the potential to be game-changing for folks with disabilities, often isn’t designed with them in mind. Is a hybrid of Inclusive, Universal and Human-centered Design the key to solving this problem?
IDP explores how to improve the design process with Dhaval Patel of Lotus Labs. We’ll hear about their innovative ‘Lotus Ring’ that aims to prove this theory and serve as an example that the process really can work!
Guest: Dhaval Patel- is the founder and CEO of Lotus, a company whose mission is to build technology that is useful to everyone, by optimizing for disability first. To that end, Lotus has built a wearable Ring that controls objects at home by pointing.
Formerly, Dhaval was a division leader at Apple, working in their iPhone, Apple Watch & AirPod divisions. He has 37 patents in sensing & haptics. His work at Apple inspired him to build technology that helps everyone, but could be especially life changing for disabled persons, seniors, and veterans.
“Legacy. What is Legacy? It’s planting seeds in a garden you never get to see.” – Quote from ‘Hamilton: An American Musical’

Lotus LabsActivities of Daily Living (ADLs): Activities of daily living are activities related to personal care. They include bathing or showering, dressing, getting in and out of bed or a chair, walking, using the toilet, and eating.Universal vs Inclusive Design: Unlike inclusive design, which highlights individual differences, universal design focuses on the similarities all people share. Universal design is the practice of designing usable products that don’t require adaptations.User Experience (UX) Design: User experience (UX) design is the process design teams use to create products that provide meaningful and relevant experiences to users. UX design involves the design of the entire process of acquiring and integrating the product, including aspects of branding, design, usability and function.IDP Discusses ‘Design Crimes’ with Ed Warner, MotionspotMotionSpot – Accessible Hotel DesignHotel Brooklyn, Manchester, UK Transcript:Designing for: Technology & Innovation with Lotus Labs, (Season 5, Episode 2)

Photo Credit: SOUR StudioThis in-depth interview with Pinar Guvenc of SOUR Studio explores the importance of co-design in a ‘VUCA’ (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous) world, and why language matters when designing. Inclusive Designers Podcast gets Pinars’ honest opinions from whether bad design is just an ego thing, to why seemingly reasonable approaches (like active listening) are the key to GREAT design. We also learn a bit about how Janet’s bathroom reno for her father is going and the challenges she is facing to re-fit a beautiful, but not necessarily functional, space.
Guest: Pinar Guvenc- is a design strategy expert, co-design advocate & practitioner, educator, mother, frequent actionist, and forever student.
“With a co-design process, you’re 50-percent ahead of the game because the insights you’re generating are so much more meaningful and accurate for the project that you’re potentially eliminating so much cost that will come up in the back end if you don’t do it.”

Photo Credit: PhilipsHow did design innovations for the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) lead to groundbreaking changes for behavior health rooms in hospital Emergency Departments? The answer lies in new adaptive environments, and they are already making a difference to parents, staff and patients in these hospital areas.
IDP talks to Alex Tan, Design Innovation Director at Philips about the process that led to creating these immersive spaces, and spoiler alert… co-design and collaboration were a part of their success.
Guest: Alex Tan- is the Design Innovation Director at Philips. According to his own bio, he is ‘a visionary thinker and leader with a diverse background that spans across many industries and design disciplines. His leadership style is very hands-on; he leads through example and inspiration. Alex and his multi-disciplinary design team collaborate with research scientists to invent and set the design vision and direction for the future of Healthcare, through a co-creation design process and prototyping’
“One of the key themes I look at is the idea of the adaptive environment – the idea that designs and environment can change and be more responsive to the different needs of different people.” – Alex Tan 2022

Edited by: Andrew ParrellaGuest: Matteo ZallioIt’s never been so important to design with inclusion right from the start! Evidence-based research shows the value of inclusive design, but how do you convince clients of these benefits and add more IDEA (inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility) into your design process? Dr. Matteo Zallio of Cambridge University has developed a few new tools that provide a way for you to do just that!
IDP digs into the research that led to the creation of the IDEA toolkit, and how it can help designers ask all the right questions and present the best solutions. These tools can help you get your clients to appreciate and embrace the need to create healthier spaces where people live and work. We also sneak a peek into the not-too-distant future to explore Inclusive Design in the Metaverse! Get ready to start designing safe and inclusive virtual immersive environments.
Guest: Matteo Zallio- is a senior research associate at the University of Cambridge, and previously a Fulbright fellow at Stanford University. He is an award-winning designer and researcher with a unique background in helping businesses to develop futuristic technologies that are inclusive by considering human diversity.

Edited by: Andrew ParrellaGuest: Judy HeumannJudy Heumann is here! Judy Heumann is here! Inclusive Designers Podcast is very excited to share our inspiring interview with THE Judy Heumann… celebrated civil rights activist, advocate, and rolling warrior. She has been called “the mother of the disability rights movement” and “an activist who doesn’t take crap, never did.” Judy is best known for leading the charge of disabled activists that sparked the creation of Section 504 and the ADA. IDP talks to Judy about her lifelong struggle to overcome discrimination, and what designers need to know to make changes that benefit both disabled and non-disabled people. And yes, Janet even asks her (way in advance) to meet in person in 2023 to celebrate as the ‘Rehabilitation Act of 1973’ turns 50!
Guest: Judy Heumann- is a lifelong advocate for the rights of disabled people. She has been instrumental in the development and implementation of legislation, such as Section 504, the Individuals with Education Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Rehabilitation Act, and the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Her memoir,“Being Heumann: An Unrepentant Memoir of a Disability Rights Activist,” was published in 2020. She is also featured in the Oscar-nominated documentary, Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution. Judy produces a podcast called The Heumann Perspective, which features a variety of members from the disability community.

Going beyond the ADA basics, what challenges did they face, and what solutions did they cook up to to lessen the limitations and still provide the best service? IDP talks to Yannick Benjamin, owner of Contento NYC, to bring you a taste of what it takes to create a restaurant design without barriers.
Guest: Yannick Benjamin, is a restaurant owner and disabilities advocate. His passion for advancing opportunities for those living with disabilities led him to create two organizations (Wheeling Forward; Wine on Wheels) that both bring awareness and best practice solutions to the hospitality industry, and far beyond.

Designing For: Beauty and the Brain
By: Janet Roche & Carolyn Robbins
Co-Hosted By: Janet Roche & Dr. J. Davis Harte
Edited by: Andrew Parrella Guest: Don RugglesThe ‘Neuroscience of Architecture’ can sound like a daunting subject to tackle, much less try to understand. Inclusive Designers Podcast interviews the forward-thinking architect Don Ruggles who explains this idea in an easy-to-understand way that will make you re-think everything you thought you knew about designing buildings. The question of ‘what is beauty anyway?’ inspired him to write his book ‘Beauty, Neuroscience & Architecture’ which then blossomed into a new Documentary, ‘Built Beautiful: A Love Story of Neuroscience and Architecture’.
Whether you are a professional architect, designer, or a student studying to become one, this will challenge your perception of beauty (and wellness) in relation to architecture. And even if you are not in the profession, IDP promises that you will come away from this interview with a new insight into how we see our towns, neighborhoods and homes. You’ll learn just what beauty is and why it can make us feel good when we see it.
Guests:
J. Davis Harte, PhD is an applied and theoretical designer, advisor and educator. Her career focus is on trauma-sensitive design in child-centered settings, merging the knowledge of trauma-informed practices with the latest on evidence-based design. The people who benefit from the spaces she informs are often misunderstood and marginalized.
J. Davis Harte, PhD
Don Ruggles, AIA, NCARB, ICAA, ANFA, is president of Ruggles Mabe Studio, a boutique architecture and interior design firm based in Colorado. The firm is dedicated to the idea that beauty can improve the lives of its clients.
The film is predicated on his first book, “Beauty, Neuroscience & Architecture: Timeless Patterns & Their Impact on Our Well-Being,” which investigates how timeless forms and patterns in architecture and design affect our health and well-being.

What is the state of disability in America today, and what does this mean to Inclusive Designers… especially in this time of Covid?
IDP sits down with Valerie Fletcher, Executive Director of the Institute for Human Centered Design (IHCD) in Boston, MA. She is an advocate and world think leader in all things Inclusive Design. Her research focuses on integrated social and environmentally sustainable solutions for multifamily housing, healthcare, culture, workplaces, and the public realm.
We discuss with Valerie the research paper and documentary she recently completed for the IHCD called The Changing Reality of Poverty in America: 2020. The project reexamines the experience of disability in America and shines a light on the stories of those all too often left behind. It also includes some eye-opening conclusions for Inclusive Designers.
Other topics include: ADA, toxic environments, Poverty in America, definitions of disability, functional limitations, neo-diversity and, of course, Inclusive Design.
Guest:
Valerie Fletcher is Executive Director of the Institute for Human Centered Design (IHCD). She writes, lectures and works internationally. She currently oversees projects including the development of a new national website on accessibility and inclusive design in cultural facilities for the National Endowment for the Arts, as well as a wide range of consultation and design services to public and private entities in the US and globally.
Valerie’s career has been divided between design and public mental health. She was the former Deputy Commissioner of the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health, and has been a Special Advisor on Inclusive Design to the Open Society Institute and the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs. She is the North American representative on the Board of the International Association for Universal Design (IAUD) in Japan.

“Trauma-Informed Design: Transforming Correctional Design for Justice”
What is the role of Trauma-Informed Design in reforming correctional facilities? With 7.3-million Americans in some level of corrections (prisons, jails, probation or parole), it is clear we are setting up those who are incarcerated to fail. The glaring truth can be seen in recidivism rates of 76.6 percent after 5 years! IDP explores the injustice of racial inequity within correctional design.
IDP’s own Janet Roche leads an expert panel of Christine Cowart (Cowart Trauma Informed Partnership); Jana Belack (PlaceTailor); and Dana McKinney (Gehry Partners) to examine the history and future of corrections design, and and how Trauma-informed Design can be used to reform it.
In this webinar, Inclusive Designers Podcast and the Boston Architectural College (BAC) joined forces to discuss the role of designers in providing safe and sustainable facilities for corrections, with a focus on offering design solutions to social inequities in this environment.

I’m going to be one of your hosts, Janet Roche. I am part of the class of 2016, and I’ll get into my bio at some point. I’m coming to you right now from the lovely state of Vermont.
I’m honored to be here for the first or what the BAC hopes to be regular inspired talks over the years. And the founding week of the BAC we’re going to showcase all different alumni and students and teachers and special guests about the inspiring work that they’re doing.

So I also want to thank the leadership of President Mahesh Dass for, in the office, for coming up with this grand celebration this week.
And we’ll talk a little bit about science and what that means in terms of corrections and corrections design, and justice reform. But we’re going to add a little piece, which is going to be about trauma and what does trauma mean and how does that also affect humans within the built enviro...
