For this conversation The DisOrdinary Architecture Project and ReFabricate sit down with the LFA Building Sounds team to share the story behind ‘Seats at the Table’ - one of the key built projects for LFA2023 - and to explore the question: What if the built environment was designed with inclusion in mind, taking into account diverse access needs?

In the conversation Jos Boys, Poppy Levison (DisOrdinary Architecture Project) and Roseanne Scott (Re-Fabricate) started by exploring the legacy of Seats at the Table, the changes needed in the industry and design for a more equitable future, spoon theory and the importance of accessible design for all.
