Counting Everyone In: Unveiling How Numbers Can Foster Inclusion and Universality in Civil Engineering
This project needs to help facilitate and eliminate key limitations of Universal Design and LNOB by informing and actively altering (teaching) practice within civil engineering, specifically centered around computational building design and digital transformation of CAD and BIM to include Universal Design and LNOB.
This project is predetermined to “measure LNOB solutions” partly because it seeks to map LNOB solutions across building design principles and technologies to identify common areas of performance parameters and effects. Then it strives to develop computational measures for Universal Design thus enabling LNOB solutions to be evaluated (and thus optimized) in similar ways as other focused engineering practices aided by computational tools. Finally, it seeks to standardize LNOB in Building Information Modeling to further promote Universal Design as a fundamental engineering discipline.
Kristoffer plans to conduct his investigation at Buffalo State University and University of Montreal in Q2 2024.
