Overview

The GeoDesign Studio features elements of the Seven Principles of Universal Design, developed at North Carolina State University. These elements are documented for each principle on the adjacent signs, as part of a project funded by the National Endowment for the Arts, in partnership with the Institute for Human Centered Design, Access to Design Professions.

Principle 1: Equitable Use

Principle 2: Flexibility in Use

Principle 3: Simple and Intuitive Use

Principle 4: Perceptible Information

Principle 5: Tolerance for Error

Principle 6: Low Physical Effort

Principle 7: Size and Space for Approach and Use

 

Inclusive Partnerships in GeoDesign Programming have been developed in partnership with Access to Design Professions, Institute for Human Centered Design, (IHCD) Boston, MA and funded in part by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA).
