Description
Designing spaces that truly serve everyone requires empathy and understanding. In "Empathic Design", Elgin Cleckley brings together leading practitioners to explore how designers can rethink their processes to create inclusive public spaces. By working closely with communities affected, empathic designers acknowledge the full history of a place and approach the lived experience and memories of those in the community with respect. This book provides essential approaches and methods from multiple perspectives, covering topics such as definitions of empathy in design, disrupting colonial narratives, and making space for grief. Case studies include notable projects like the Harriet Tubman Memorial in Newark, The Camp Barker Memorial in Washington, D.C., and the Freedom Center in Oklahoma City.
