The final two modules review diverse users, their needs and balancing differing requirements and constraints.Learning outcomes:• Understand how inclusivity is linked to sustainability • Knowledge of the principles of inclusive design and the difference between retrofitting and futureproofing • Knowledge of how to develop a projects inclusion strategy linked to the RIBA plan of work, including planning for engagement • Build an awareness of the need to audit buildings but have an understanding of known and future diverse users. • Gain an overview of the physical, social (as multigenerational) and cultural diversity of users • Learn to manage design and cost conflicts in order to achieve regulatory compliance • Gain an awareness of useful good practice guidance and resource.
