Body = Design Site: Beth Tauke at TEDxUniversityatBuffalo

Professor Tauke is affiliated with the Center for Inclusive Design & Environmental Access (IDEA), the leading research center on inclusive design in the built environment in the U.S. where she studies sensory issues in the built environment. She is the co-founder and editor of Universal Design Education Online, the primary website for UD education. She co-edited Universal Design: New York with Dr. G. Scott Danford, and is currently working on two books-- one on diversity in design and another on inclusive and sensory issues in housing. Professor Tauke's talk will address the human body as an important site for design in the 21st century.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
