Topic is the Approach & Strategy for the Built Environment

Universal Design is the idea that a building or space can be built and designed in a way that makes it accessible for a wide range of people. There is no one-size fits all for humans. In the United State one-in-five people has a disability –either physical or mental – that can affect the way they travel through, use or perceive a space. Height, hand dominance, body size and age are all factors that Universal Design takes into consideration during the pre-design, design and construction phases.

When it comes to architecture and design, universal design is helping make buildings and spaces more accessible to a wider range of people.
