A podcast for learning about the business of technology design and management. Listen to stories, panels, interviews and discussions about technology and design in-the-wild: the good, the beautiful, and the useful. Whether you've got one big idea, you think of yourself as an organisation designer, product designer, creator, or entrepreneur. Each episode offers a take on how people design, strategise, organise, and develop technology. We want to dig into the essence of design, discover the backstory to technologies, and unpack the design attitude. We started this podcast for you, because you are interested in tinkering, in making, and how ideas become 'things', and because we are all, in some way, involved in designing. Hosted on Acast.

We take a look inside the design process for the new O’Connor Centre for Learning on UCD’s Belfield campus, from the preliminary brief to the final commissioning. ·       On to the subject for today, the new O’Connor Centre for Learning. Can you walk us through the story of this building ‘as a project’, the  \"Before, During, After\" ? ·       Would you say that buildings like the Moore Centre (where we are right now) and the O’Connor are high-tech buildings? In what way? How? ·        Going Beyond Part M:  You’ve talked about how building regulations (Part M) provide a baseline for accessibility. How did you move from simple compliance to a design that truly fosters \"belonging\" for all users? ·       You mentioned a distinction between \"features\" and \"design elements\". How do we ensure accessibility is baked into the architecture rather than just bolted on as an afterthought? ·       Does user feedback from the wider campus influence the \"Fixes\" and \"Audits\" of new projects? ·       The Logistics of Mobility (MOB): From toilets and doors to steps and lighting - what are the small details that make the biggest difference in a student's daily experience? ·       In class we have heard that…","meta_description":"Hosted by Sean Lynch and Akshara Jonna.
