For a more inclusive society
The methods of designers and architects play an important role in designing new solutions that provide increased value for the people who will use them.
Designing based on real insights from a variety of real people and their perspectives and barriers adds value to the development process.
An inclusive design process can contribute to innovative and more user-friendly solutions. This will provide a better end-user experience regardless of, for example, age, gender, functional variation, neurodiversity, ethnicity, culture and digital competence.
Universal design and design for diversity, equality and inclusion can provide added value to brands, increased market potential and new business opportunities.
The Innovation Award for Inclusive Design is DOGA's design and architecture award for diversity, equality and universal design. It is one of the activities linked to the Norwegian Government's Action Plan for Universal Design
What types of solutions are considered?
The award honors holistic and innovative use of design, architecture and universal design.
We use a broad definition of architecture and design. This includes all solutions such as buildings, outdoor spaces and landscapes, products, services, transportation, interiors, furniture and interior architecture, graphic design, digital solutions, textiles and clothing.
Who can receive the award?
The award is open to businesses, designers and architects in both the public and private sectors. For established organisations, designers and architects, the solution must be in use and launched in the market.
In the category for Young talents, for students and newly established designers and architects, projects that have not yet been realized can be applied for.
How are the applications assessed?
You can apply yourself, or nominate other projects that you believe deserve recognition. The jury reviews all eligible projects. The jury members vote for winners in each category, and an overall winner. In addition, some projects may be awarded honorable mentions.
The jury consists of experienced designers, architects and professionals from various organizations with expertise in inclusive design. They will assess submitted applications from a holistic quality perspective.
The jury criteria include all aspects of inclusive design with an emphasis on user-centered innovation, functionality and usability, aesthetics, sustainability and process. We particularly emphasize 'loveable' as an important factor along with innovation and universal design that goes beyond general legal requirements and minimum standards.
