Event Description
Join Teulo Talks for a powerful session with Rajan Hira, Senior Principal at Chow:Hill, as he unpacks what it means to truly design for people – starting with some of the most vulnerable among us. Drawing from years of work in aged care, Rajan explores how designing for people living with dementia offers universal insights that can improve built environments for everyone.
In this session, Rajan will share practical tools and conceptual frameworks that put people at the centre of the design process – from the role of familiarity in wayfinding to why colour selection can significantly impact behaviour and well-being.
Key Learning Outcomes:
- Explore how design can reduce isolation and support better health outcomes
- Understand the importance of familiarity and intuitive spatial cues
- Learn how colour selection can guide, soothe and connect
Whether you're working in healthcare, aged care, residential, or public spaces – this talk will reshape the way you think about inclusive design.
