About Us
The Laboratory of Inclusive Design (LID) is driven by the goal of “inclusion for all” with universal design as a philosophy guided by human centric approach. Our work at LID focuses on diversity and inclusion of persons with disabilities, children, aging, gender perspectives, along with cultural and economic dimensions of accessibility. Anchored on a human-centric design philosophy and a holistic environmental approach, we aim to provide accessible solutions spanning across domains of built infrastructure, information systems, assistive technologies, and service models.
Vision
To create and support the development of inclusive environments in India and beyond, through an interdisciplinary understanding of design, architecture, planning, science, technology, social sciences, policies and human-centric approaches.
