Iterate

Verb

Definition:

“to say or do again or again and again” – Merriam-Webster Dictionary

The word was used as Iterating in “The Inclusive Museum” by Sina Bahram, in the sentence ” Universal Design is the act of considering all audiences, or as many as we can, at the beginning of a project, and iterating upon this consideration until we arrive at a solution that is usable by far more people than if we had not taken such a design tact.”

The author uses this word in order to tell that there is always a repeating idea that keeps on going into their heads so that the projects they are working on can meet with the expectations of the idea that they constantly kept on thinking, also serving as a reminder of their original goal and how far they can accomplish by iterating that goal.

Olfactory

adjective

of or relating to the sense of smell (Merriam-Webster-Dictionary)

The word was encountered in “The Inclusive Museum” By Sina Bahram

The sentence that it was encountered in was “He found exhibits with audio, olfactory, or tactile components”

The author utilizes this word to say that the museum not only had audio, but smell and things that you could touch/feel. This is important to the paragraph in the article because its essentially saying the guide limited the experience of being in a museum because from a earlier lesson with the ways of seeing video, when looking at paintings or objects your interpretation of them can be shaped through the audio that is played along with it. Because this impacted the author so much she decided that museums aren’t doing enough for disabled people, simply acknowledging the disability is not enough.
