We collaborate with many different practices across planning, architecture, and design, on projects of varying scales, achieving better accessibility outcomes for everyone and satisfying regulatory requirements.
We engage with all levels of government, government agencies, and the NGO/NfP sector, internationally, nationally, and locally, to deliver comprehensive insight into built environment accessibility.
We work with Universities, Professional Associations, Disability and Disabled Peoples Organisations, and LGAs and Advocacy groups building capacity to improve built
environment accessibility outcomes.
We co-create with individuals, business, NGO/NfPs, and government to achieve people-centric, accessible built environments, whether existing or new, across all stages of procurement, design, and delivery.
Productively use our unique transdisciplinary skills to ensure all projects and activities are underpinned by the entwined principles of accessibility, sustainability, and universal design.
VDD Studio recently investigated redesigning the International Symbol of Access as part of a competition run by the International Union of Architects and Rehabilitation International. Check out our design and gain some insight into our design process.
In March 2022 Visionary Design Development hosted an MTalk ‘Disability, Human Rights, and the Built Environment’ at MPavilion. Many thanks to MPavilion, our fabulous guest speakers and the wonderful audience for attending.
This very problematic situation serves as a reminder to built environment practitioners (procurers, designers, and constructors) that the 'standards' are not necessarily logical nor harmonised and, most certainly, do not guarantee inclusion. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-05-04/high-court-rules-on-disability-access-parliament-square-hobart/101036226
In the spirit of reconciliation Visionary Design Development also acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea, and community. We pay our respect to elders past, present, and emerging, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
