When Inclusive Design Meets Inconvenience Design
Since my engagement in the inclusive project a decade ago, two key points have been pondering me. A successful inclusive design is characterized by being invisible and non-exclusive. This brings forth two important checklists:
While contemplating how to address these questions, the concept of inconvenience design emerged.
The objective is to bring users from two opposite ends of the spectrum together, meeting in the middle path through inconvenience.
I will put this thought on hold for now and look forward to revisiting it in the near future.

"When I have to go through a garbage dump or through a basement or through a shady parking lot to get to the entrance or the makeshift entrance of a restaurant, it's a vastly different experience than when I'm invited to go through the front door like everyone else. That is really why accessible, intentional, inclusive design is so powerful." She really hit the nail on the perspective that the basic requirement is to ensure functionality and accessibility. Beyond that, the goal is to establish an environment where everyone can enjoy an equal quality of experience. A same level playing field where disability label is not needed.?And that to me, is a good inclusive design.
