Members of the Research Network
Universal Design Hub has created and facilitates an interdisciplinary network that aims to turn the academic field of universal design into a research-based, cross-disciplinary field of knowledge. Universal design cannot be propagated from within one field alone. Researchers in the network come from various fields of study that each contribute to shaping the world around us.
Members of the network are researchers who work with universal design in their teaching and research within their specific academic discipline, for example construction, design, health and engineering.
The network meets three times a year for e.g. master class sessions with international experts or joint publication, and teaching activities.
The network also regularly participates in debates, publications and activities in collaboration with Universal Design Hub.
Anne Kathrine Frandsen
Senior Researcher
Aalborg University
Anne Kathrine Frandsen’s research focuses on how users experience the quality of architecture and the built environment. It particularly focuses on how sensory and utilitarian qualities contribute to stimulating and equal frameworks for all, and how these can be created and upheld throughout the entirety of the building process, from programme to outline, from project planning to completion.
