Description
Illustrating actual building design solutions that have been created to improve accessibility for disabled patrons and performers, the
'Journey Sequence' outlines the best examples of design innovation produced in response to new and upcoming legislation.
A knowledge
of how to design for the disabled can be crucial in winning contracts and having designs accepted. This book shows how the practical
implications have already been successfully approached.
Covering the whole sequence from parking, to entry, and including details of
facilities for the visually and hearing impaired users, advice is given on the methods designers should use in assessing the requirements
of disabled people. This is not a publication giving theoretical prescription but rather an illustrated record of achievements in buildings
of all sizes where proper access to the disabled has been created. It includes 14 case studies and examples that illustrate the diverse
ways that accessibility has been incorporated into arts buildings throughout the UK. This includes Cinemas, Theatres, Concert Halls,
Opera Houses, Museums and Libraries. The author team highlights specific design details that are particularly unique, to stimulate the
reader and show that creating better accessibility for the disabled both demands and creates innovative design.
Audience
Professionals and students of architecture and design. Planners, property developers, building managers, surveyors, local authorities, arts company directors.
