KCC announced on the 13th that it participated in the '2023 Universal Design International Seminar & Exhibition.'

KCC was invited to this event hosted by the Ministry of Health and Welfare and organized by the Korea Disabled People's Development Institute. The seminar, held at the Mugunghwa Hall of the Seoul Arts Center, was a global event simultaneously broadcast online and offline worldwide. It featured lectures and Q&A sessions by instructors from various countries, including the United States and Japan. KCC gave a lecture on user-centered Color Universal Design that considers people with various types of color vision. Attendees showed great interest in excellent cases of environmental color design developed by the KCC Color Design Center, as well as projects in collaboration with construction companies and local governments.

KCC also participated in the exhibition prepared to raise awareness of Color Universal Design. In the 'Calligraphy and Color Universal Design' section of the 1st Exhibition Hall at the Hangaram Art Museum in Seocho-gu, Seoul Arts Center, KCC displayed the 'Safety Color Combination Guide' developed by the KCC Color Design Center. This is a color guide developed by analyzing the current state of color combinations that allow everyone to easily recognize safety signs. It is the result of analyzing the color combinations of safety signs in parking lots of apartment complexes completed by KCC within the last three years, along with extensive experiments and surveys.

This annual event held every autumn aims to set new directions for universal design projects, consider aspects related to space and environment, and explore future directions together. Universal Design means creating products and usage environments that anyone can easily use regardless of gender, age, nationality, cultural background, or disability.

Jung Sung-yoon, team leader of the KCC Color Design Center, said, "It was a meaningful time to share various research and project cases from academia and industry for the spread and development of universal design and to inform the public." He added, "We will strive to apply the Color Universal Design research model developed by KCC to many architectural environment projects to create environments where more people can be considered and cared for.”
