E1: Trauma-informed educational spaces with Lorne McConachie, Principal Emeritus, Bassetti Architects

What might a trauma-informed space look and feel like? I interview Lorne, an architect who spent his career building schools and education spaces. During the episode, we discuss the reasons for and importance of trauma-informed design (TID), the free TID workbook Lorne’s team created, and how museum professionals might use it to guide designs of trauma-informed spaces and experiences.

 

 

Download the free TID workbook, or connect with Lorne’s team

Lorne and team invites those who use the free workbook to be in touch with feedback and perhaps guidance on how a museum-focused workbook might be created.
