Spaces for Neurodiversity: Biophilic and Accessible Design
How do we design spaces that reflect different ways of perceiving the world? Why are biophilic principles and accessibility not optional features, but the foundation of truly inclusive architecture? And how is research on neurodiversity transforming contemporary urban planning?Join the lecture, where these questions will be explored by:
Michal Matlon — architectural psychologist working on environments that support people’s well-being and productivity — from offices to entire districts. He has experience in strategic consulting in Vienna and in large-scale office development projects across Europe. Co-founder of The Venetian Letter, a publication focused on scientific and human-centered approaches in architecture.
Gala Korniienko — Director of Research & Development at the National Youth Advocate Program (USA), lecturer in urban planning and public policy at The Ohio State University. Fulbright Fellow, researcher of inclusive participation formats and just urban solutions. Co-author of the Six Feelings Framework for Autism Planning and Design Standards — a tool that helps integrate sensory and emotional experience into spatial planning.
The lecture will be moderated by Lilet Breddeels, Project Manager at Ro3kvit.
After the lecture, there will be an open discussion where participants can ask questions to the speakers.
