Description
Universal Design is Selwyn Goldsmith's new authoritative design manual, the successor to his internationally acclaimed Designing for the
Disabled. A clear and concise design guide for practising and student architects, it describes and illustrates the differences there
are between universal design and 'for the disabled' design
Universal Design presents detailed design guidance for architects in an
easily referenced form. Covering both public buildings and private housing, it includes informative anthropometric data, along with
illustrative examples of the planning of circulation spaces, sanitary facilities, car parking spaces and seating spaces for wheelchair
users in cinemas and theatres. It is a valuable manual in enhancing understanding of the basic principles of 'universal design'.
The
aim - to encourage architects to extend the parameters of normal provision, by looking to go beyond the prescribed minimum design standards
of the Part M building regulation, Access and facilities for disabled people.
Audience
Student and professional urban planners and designers, environmentalists, architects, library managers, and government and local authority architects and planners.
