On this episode of The Construction Record Podcast™, digital media editor Warren Frey speaks with Dr. Victoria Lanteigne, a research principal at Steven Winter Associates Inc. in New York City about improving the built environment through equity, accessibility and inclusive design.
Lanteigne explained that embedded equity is an emerging approach to design that supports marginalized groups that have traditionally not benefited from the ways in which the built environment has been implemented and stressed the importance of integrating equity into building sustainable structures. They added design fails marginalized communities is by not soliciting their input during the design process, but added there are projects that are fulfilling this effort such as the Wing Luke Museum of the Asian Pacifica American Experience in Seattle, WA which was built with full collaboration of the Asian-American community, as well as Harvey Milk Plaza in San Francisco which was designed to be inclusive of the LGBTQIA+ community.
Lanteigne also said equity-based design doesn’t necessarily cost more than traditional design, though there is a misconception that is the case, though they added community engagement can take time and add to the bottom line. Their research involves creating design teams to further streamline the process.
