Project Description

This is an architectural design based on Cardiff University campus, meant to design a more social equally campus for everyone.

University campuses and buildings should be designed in inclusivity to promote a sense of belonging and well-being for all.

The broader structural issues of equity and justice continue to manifest themselves in higher education, especially when it comes to the disadvantaged groups of people. Architecture has a particular role to play in achieving inclusivity.

The design research project is based on Cathays Campus at Cardiff University, considering the current situation of the campus, developing architectural designs to improve and enhance existing buildings empowering the experience of equity and fairness in the university.

In this project, research methods including persona, user journeys, and schedule of accommodations were used to understand the real needs of users and help to define spaces to implement architectural designs.
