    To Use Alt(ernative) Text or Not to Use Alt(ernative) Text for Images
    (2022-01-27) Patterson, Patrick
    Alternative text descriptions are used to convey meaning for images that appear on a website. We will explore creating meaningful alternative text along with exploring situations where it can be left empty. Images are used to communicate several things and it is imperative that they provide meaning to everyone.

    Making Change from Within: Integrating Accessibility into Strategic Planning and Assessment
    (2022-01-27) Frank, Jacqueline L; Young, Scott W H
    Implementing accessibility means making change from within. But real barriers stand in the way. In response, we have looked to the infrastructure of strategic planning as a vehicle for change. This presentation describes an approach for improving accessibility by integrating accessibility goals, measures, and initiatives into strategic planning.

    Auditing Accessibility Through Remote User Testing
    (2022-01-27) Burmeister, Nora; Walston, Felicity
    When COVID-19 hit, many UNC-Chapel Hill Libraries employees needed remote tasks. The UX department saw an opportunity for these employees to perform remote accessibility testing of subscription e-resources with freely available digital accessibility evaluation tools. We will outline the procedures, outcomes, and next steps of this accessibility audit.

    Comfort and Efficiency: Strategies to Develop a Climate Appropriate Affordable Home
    (University of Oregon, 2019) McGlohn, Emily M.
    Alabama’s Blackbelt counties suffer from some of the poorest economic conditions in the country. Thirtytwo percent of all people living there, live in poverty. Affordable and climate appropriate housing that contributes to the well-being of this significantly sized group is lacking, and the challenges are many. Auburn University’s Rural Studio attempts to address this need through the 20K Home Project. This paper focuses on one aspect of this fourteen-year research project: the design strategies of a climate appropriate, affordable home and ways to teach students to prioritize options. Within the larger 20K Home Project, third-year architecture students at Rural Studio build one house a year. They start with the plans of a previously designed home from the project. They inherit the strategies and details from another group of students. To understand the house, they analyze the conceptual and tangible aspects of the design. Learning how to prioritize and select from the ever-growing number of ways to structure, enclose, insulate, heat, and cool a home, while minding the climatic characteristics of hot-humid Alabama is the objective. Making informed adjustments to the existing strategies and building a house to test their selections is the goal. This paper is a case study of the 2017-18 Rural Studio third year project house and addresses the pedagogical approach for this process.

    Design with Comfort
    (University of Oregon, 2019) Cruse, Andrew
    As anthropogenic climate change destabilizes a fixed idea of climate, it is also destabilizing a fixed idea of comfort. Comfort, like climate, can no longer be understood as a steady index of energetic balance, but is now recognized as condition of flux on which human activity has a direct impact. In this new context, design with comfort can be an effective extension of earlier directives to design with climate. Design with comfort extends architecture’s immaterial and discursive aspects to bring attention to more a flexible (in terms of temperature) and inclusive (in terms of populations) concept of comfort. Design with comfort seeks to exploit comfort’s latent potential in cultural and aesthetic dimensions. Using comfort to relate climate to construction positions it squarely within architecture culture, and suggests a shared project for a more inclusive group of academics and practitioners. Design with comfort also adds a new aesthetic dimension to creative design practice by actively designing comfort experiences. Today’s dominant comfort model holds that comfort is a static state of thermal neutrality that varies little between different locations, different seasons, and different people. In the context of an architectural studio, designing with comfort asks students to consider how comfort is entangled with more familiar elements of design such as form, materials, program and site. Directly addressing comfort as part of design process helps to demonstrate its historical legacy, establish its currency as part of today’s environmental reality, and encourage students to think creatively about its implications and possibilities.
