Designing with dignity

20 May 2025
Design Meets in Design Fields
Join us for a panel discussion exploring the intersection of design, architecture, and social responsibility in addressing homelessness. Expert panellists will share innovative approaches to creating spaces that prioritise dignity, inclusivity, and empowerment for marginalised communities. From temporary shelters to permanent housing, the discussion will highlight real-world examples, best practices, and the challenges of designing spaces that support holistic well-being. Whether through modular housing, community-centred design, or policy advocacy, this event inspires collaboration for a more equitable built environment.
