Abstract:

The Cultural Interpretation sector related to architectural heritage comprises a field of applied research, with a major impact on the development and availability of specifically adapted and inclusive resources. Nowadays, smart and sustainable development are common goals of mankind. That includes the social participation of people in learning and leisure. This paper shows an approach to the design of in-situ learning experiences. This study was carried out by a multidisciplinary team of researchers at the Universitat Politècnica de València (Spain). The goals are to increase the use of learning artifacts ant to improve the user experience as well. Inclusive design offers choice where a single design solution cannot accommodate all users. The case of an informative solution for interpretation and learning of the Central Market of Valencia is explained. The main difficulty is the simultaneous use of the site as a commercial spot and a tourist attraction. Segmentation, technical options, and creativity are mixed.
