IFLA Satellite Meeting
Lets explore the evolving concept of ‘library’ and its impact on library design!
This will form the basis of our exciting and very practical program. We will be adopting a multi-pronged approach with a combination of keynote speakers, panel sessions and workshop sessions with perspectives and experiences from around the world.
Delegates will have the opportunity to workshop solutions for inclusive library design with their professional colleagues and to share and learn from others’ experiences.
We are co-hosting the Satellite in Rome in the magnificent Sala della Protomoteca on the Capitoline Hill immediately preceding the IFLA World Congress in Athens.
The Satellite Meeting is being co-hosted by four IFLA Sections:

Traci Lesneski, Principal MSR Design
Workshop Summary:
Each of us experiences buildings differently, depending on our own cultural, social, economic, and physical circumstances. Religion, gender, age, mental health and the various ways we each rely on our senses also play a role in how we experience the built environment. Yet many buildings are designed to accommodate only a narrow slice of the human population. Awareness of potential barriers when considering the built environment can make the difference between places that support inclusion and ones that do not welcome all users. This interactive workshop creates awareness about the built environment’s role in inclusion and demonstrates how to leverage the design process and outcomes as powerful tools in the quest for inclusive library buildings.
