The NBR9050: Accessibility and Inclusion Workshop is a project carried out in partnership with Maitá ATHIS and funded by the Council of Architecture and Urbanism (CAU). It aims to train architecture and urban planning professionals to apply NBR 9050 and 16537 standards through theoretical and practical activities. These activities contextualize these regulations within the promotion of fundamental rights, in accordance with the CAU Code of Ethics, which seeks to ensure that human needs regarding functionality, cost-effectiveness, durability, comfort, hygiene, and accessibility in the built environment are met.

In recent years, traditional ideas about the "workplace" have been completely transformed. With remote and hybrid systems becoming the new normal, employees now expect flexibility regarding where and when they perform their work. However, prolonged remote work has also revealed the irreplaceable value of in-person collaboration and connection.
