Irina Verona presents on Design for Climate Action at SCUP regional conference

VCA featured in Point Line Projects
Verona Carpenter Architects was featured in EN POINTE by Point Line Projects. See link for interview and selected images. One of our favorite quotes:
“We are really good at formulating probing questions and bringing design vision to a project. But we also bring a lot of management expertise and stamina. We recognize when it is important to say, ¨This is essential to the project and we are willing to fight for this.” You have to have the voice - and not only vision - to follow through on project priorities.”
JENNIFER AND IRINA TO SPEAK ON DESIGNING FOR NEURODIVERSE LEARNERS
The Verona Carpenter principals will present an hour long seminar Designing for Difference on March 19 at the 2020 Breakthroughs in 2E Education conference at the Cooper Union in New York City.
“2E” (short “twice exceptional”) describes people with special needs, such as autism and adhd, who are also gifted: exceptional in two ways. Verona Carpenter architects will share their research and practice in designing for neurodiversity.
Spaces for 2E learning can either support or hinder the enormous efforts of teachers, clinicians, and administrators. Classrooms and other educational spaces must support a variety of sensory needs, student-to-teacher ratios, and learning styles; these needs may change from year to year, and budgets and schedules often do not allow for major overhauls. We will explore ways to transform existing spaces, and strategies for approaching new ones. We will illuminate through precedent how space design can engage and help regulate all the senses, drawing on our experience as architects and, in Jennifer’s case, as the parent of a 2E child with autism.

UPDATE (5 March) this conference was cancelled and Verona Carpenter is scheduled to appear at the 2021 conference.
