This approach draws on the unique ways Deaf people inhabit, construct, and identify with their world. As a prime example of human-centered architecture, DeafSpace offers widely- applicable insights into the intersectional needs of people with different abilities, identities, ages, and backgrounds. Award-winning architect Hansel Bauman, who helped pioneer the DeafSpace Project at Gallaudet University in 2006, will chronicle how Deaf cultural traditions of spatial modification have inspired and translated into architectural guidelines. Additionally, Bauman\u2019s case studies will demonstrate how DeafSpace applies and advances inclusive design through user-directed methodologies also inspired by Deaf culture.
