Universal Design in Architecture

About

Universal Design in Architecture summer school provide students with the skills to practically apply the principles of Universal Design and accessibility diagnosis both in public spaces and in the design of residential spaces considering individual or collective special needs, in particular people with disabilities and the elderly. Educating a new generation of designers representing a human-centered approach to design is one of the activities that bring us closer to realizing the idea of a civil society based on the principles of equal opportunities and nondiscrimination. Summer school demonstrate the integrative role of Universal Design in the functioning of communities, by ensuring that as many people as possible can use architectural space independently and autonomously. Participants will experience architectural barriers through personal experience during simulation workshops. The course will be based on theoretical and practical parts, grouped in thematic blocks.
