A short walk across the park, V&amp;A East Museum celebrates global creativity and making relevant to today\u2019s world.<\/p><p>Working with the Direct Access team of disabled access consultants, V&amp;A is integrating accessibility from designing interactives to integrating the real-life experiences of disabled artists, designers and creatives throughout the museums. V&amp;A will focus on how artists and designers work to transform our world, to inspire young people. This session covers the approaches taken by V&amp;A and Direct Access from initial design concept through to installation and gallery launch. How the team approached different challenges, what worked, what could be improved and how this is informing work in the GCC.<\/p><p>V&amp;A East Storehouse will be a 16,000m2 purpose-built home for over 250,000 objects, 350,000 library books and 1,000 archives. Offering an entirely new museum experience, V&amp;A East Storehouse will take visitors on a journey across time, through self-guided tours and changing displays.\u00a0<\/p><p>Drawing from twenty years of experience delivering accessibility audits for iconic\u00a0museums like the Royal Armouries and the Science Museum Group, Direct Access&#8217; design consultancy on the new Storehouse will inform the specific arrangement of all aspects at museums which impact the visitor experience; addressing all potential barriers to access. This will include baseline access requirements such as lighting, step-free access, hearing enhancement systems, as well as the facilitation of Changing Places, exhibit information delivered in accessible formats, and ways to increase representation of disabled artists.\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-size: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-size ); font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );\">Furthermore, Steven and Amy will speak to IMCC&#8217;s audience of architects, designers, and museum curators on how inclusion and accessibility has inspired the specific design choices of the Storehouse.
