Designing Dignity – Design and build helping people experiencing homelessness with Change Please

23 May 2024
Design Meets in Design Fields
Join us for a thought-provoking panel discussion on the intersection of design, architecture, and social responsibility in addressing homelessness. Our expert panellists will explore innovative approaches to creating spaces that prioritise dignity and respect for individuals experiencing homelessness. From temporary shelters to permanent housing solutions, the conversation will delve into the role of design in fostering inclusivity, safety, and empowerment for marginalised communities. Drawing from real-world examples and best practices, the panel will examine the challenges and opportunities in designing spaces that not only provide shelter but also support holistic well-being and foster a sense of belonging. Whether it's through modular housing, community-centred design, or advocacy for policy change, this discussion will inspire architects, designers, policymakers, and advocates to collaborate in creating a more equitable built environment for all. Join us as we explore how design can be a powerful tool for social change and contribute to the collective effort to work towards addressing homelessness.
