services
Public Service Design - Homes for people with disabilities
 
Often ressources are few for providing care and training even for those who depend most on it. In 2007 AKPdesign started a user driven service design project focusing on finding methods for optimizing and improving at the same time. The project has resultet in several new solutions for institutions and homes, that will be further developed and implemented through 2008-2009. The solutions embrace technical aids for better activities, it-tools for the work force and new ways of thinking and interacting. Please contact AKPdesign for further information.

The Including Library
Partnering with Roskilde Library and The Danish Building Research Institute, AKPdesign in 2006 started investigating how technology can improve accessibility to the public library. Through a design and innovation process focusing on users with different disabilities the project has dicovered how you by integrating positioning and communication technology into userfriendly services can create accessibility to meta information for users even with disabilities.
The project has generated a development project that is now seeking financial support for realization.
