About this book

Access for all: planning barrier-free

Buildings are not conceived solely with average people in mind; they offer a protective shell for everyone. Basics Barrier-free Planning improves our understanding of the needs of people with disabilities such as limited mobility or impaired vision, children, and the elderly, all of whom have special requirements when using a building. The book presents possibilities for designing buildings and their spaces so they can be used by everyone.

Explains what "barrier-free" means in practice
Perceiving a building and the requirements for its use
Integration into the design (spaces to move, orientation, etc.)
Designing the details (doors, thresholds, signage, etc.)
