Trans-disciplinary evidence, including interviews with over 3,000 people over the last decade, informs the premise of the book—acknowledging that nothing we design is neutral, the places we inhabit shape our ideas about who we are and what we deserve, and the built environment has the potential to promote safety, comfort, community, and control for all end users. The 22 elements of Dignified Design illustrate a range of potential spatial responses with infinite applications, all of which underscore that Dignified Design requires intention, iteration, and evaluation to achieve meaningful impact. Designing for Dignity: Elements of Practice centres health, wholeness, and flourishing—stipulating a standard of DIGNITY in housing, shelters, and all environments.
