RAWE is an ever-evolving inclusive design project.
The aim? Less inaccessible, age-segregated environments. More Radically Accessible Wildly Engaging (RAWE) places for people of all ages.
Research
RAWE Project undertakes research to expand and share ideas of what radically accessible wildly engaging environments could be. Current research includes the Greater London Authority’s Good Growth by Design Inclusive Design report. Past research collaborations include Design Age Institute Report ‘Design Age Ideas’ (Royal College of Art, 2023) and book Just Living: Homes for Our Future Selves (ColladoCollins, 2019).
Review
RAWE Project provides design reviews to embed inclusive design ideas at the beginning of a project through all phases of design. RAWE Project RHFAC Professionals can also conduct Rick Hansen Foundation Accessibility Certification surveys to review existing and proposed buildings for ‘RHF Accessibility Certified’ or ‘RHF Accessibility Certified Gold’ status.
Reimagine
Studios, workshops, and discussions that aim to reimagine the radically accessible wildly engaging choices we can create. Current reimaginings include a Design Think Tank for the London School of Architecture focused on intergenerational neighbourhoods. Recent talks and workshops include the LSE Women’s Library event on reimagining how Women shape our cities and streets (2024) and Design Museum talk and workshop on Designing for and with our Future Selves (2023).
Realize
Bringing the research, reviews, and reimaginings together to realize a more radically accessible wildly engaging environment for people of all ages. Current projects include All-Ways Adley, a residential project that explores how 100 year old terraced houses can be sustainable and inclusive homes for the next 100 years.
