Last week we had @fenneroefs.bsky.social & Amar Mohindra from Mijksenaar Lab visiting us! We had a super interesting research chat around wayfinding, sound, & accessibility. We went hands-on with Amar’s soft-magnetic demo, developed with the Material Aesthetic’s Lab at the Industrial Design @tue.nl.

We are proud to announce BEAT, a €3.8M project boosting accessibility in Dutch cities!

Led by Hamed Alavi with co-PIs @judithgood.bsky.social & @katjesjes.bsky.social, BEAT pioneers inclusive city-making, grounded in lived experience and shaped by AI, design and policy.
