Ramp Workshop
Rojas AP conducted an instructive workshop during the 2023 group from Tools & Tiaras Inc., a Jamaicabased not-for-profit group with a primary emphasis on architectural inclusion and accessibility. This program provided a comprehensive introduction to the principles of ADA compliance, specifically focusing on constructing ramps that meet established building code requirements. The workshop was equipped with essential materials and step-by-step instructions thoughtfully provided by Rojas AP. Under the guidance of Rojas AP, the students embarked on a structured exploration of architecture, delving into the intricacies of ADA compliance and the significance of code-compliant ramps. Employing an array of architectural tools, the students meticulously crafted ramps, paying careful attention to nuances such as handrail post placements and assembly techniques while they followed a step-by-step guide. The workshop fostered the development of critical thinking and practical skills, as the participants systematically measured, cut, and assembled materials to create ramps adhering to ADA standards.
