Accessibility Awareness Day is an annual event that offers architecture students the opportunity to explore accessibility issues in the built environment.
Throughout the trip, students explored the contrast of old and new to develop a deeper appreciation and cultural understanding of China’s built environment.
Students came to the course from diverse liberal arts backgrounds and included a mix of psychology, political science and sociology majors. One thing they tended to have in common with one another is that they were most familiar with living in cities and urban environments as opposed to growing up in the suburbs.
