DISCOVER OUR PROGRAMS

Empathy LAB

Empathy Lab: explores how inclusive design can transform public spaces through the lens of visual impairment. Set in the context of Singapore’s hawker centers, it uses sound, touch, and spatial memory to reveal unseen challenges. The experience includes:

– Empathy game, where participants navigate a recreated hawker space using only non-visual senses, guided by soundscapes and task cards.
Empathy Workshops, where designers, students, and citizens co-create inclusive spatial ideas rooted in empathy, accessibility, and dignity.

Be part of a dynamic, hands-on experience where students, designers, and community members come together to co-create inclusive design solutions.

From tactile wayfinding and mindful furniture layouts to innovative assistive technologies, this workshop focuses on making public spaces more accessible and welcoming for everyone.

Secure your spot today—space is limited, and your voice matters in shaping more inclusive environments.
