Universal Design in Botanical Gardens Speaker : Erzsébet Fördős - Hódy architect, rehabilitation engineer Budapest Association of the Persons with Physical Disabilities Universal Design Center (ETIKK) 11-06-2019
Topics Accessibility and Universal Design (origin of name, relationship between concepts, the 7 principle of UD) Examinations/tests in design and using Universal Design Center experiences in reality (good and bad examples) Suggestions
Accessibility and Universal Design
What does - accessibility - universal design mean? The concept and developing of accessibility (names in different countries, differences in interpretation) Barrier free design, Accesible design, Universal Design, Design for All, Inclusiv Design Planning for whom? (from the part of designers/engineers) Services for whom? (user circles, special needs) Legacy: In Hungary-about accessibility(built enviroment, services): 253/1997. Government Regulation (OTÉK ) Equality Act : 1998. évi XXVI. Law about Right and Accessibility of Disabled People About universal design: (CRPD) - Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities – ratified by Hungary in 2007
Standard VS DFA (universal design>accessibility)
Accessibility is basic reqiurement! Concept of Universal Design, 7 principles 1. Equitable Use 2. Flexibility in Use 3. Simple and Intuitive Use 4. Perceptible information 5. Tolerance for error 6. Low physical effort 7. Size and Space for Approach and Use
1. Equitable Use
2. Flexibility in Use
3. Simple and Intuitive Use
4. Perceptible information
6. Low physical effort janoskulcsar@kulcsarstudio.hu
7. Size and Space for Approach and Use
Examinations/Tests
Entrances – examines by 7 principles and by accessibility INCORRECT! CORRECT! Accessible approach of entrance (formation and use of parking place, route from parking place to entrance EQUITABLE USE ) Accesible entrances and exits (thresholdless SIZE AND SPACE FOR APPROACH AND USE ) Treatment of entrances’structures ( LOW PHYSICAL EFFORT, SIZE AND SPACE FOR APPROACH AND USE )
Inner routes and spaces - examines by 7 principles and by accessibility INCORRECT! CORRECT! CORRECT! Inner accessible circulation (logic spatial organization, connection between areas EQUITABLE USE ) Accessible services(perceptible exhibition areas SIZE AND SPACE FOR APPROACH AND USE ; PERCEPTIBLE INFORMATION ) Consumer square utility (counter hight and form SIMPLE AND INTUITIVE USE, SIZE AND SPACE FOR APPROACH AND USE
Furniture and eqiupment - examines by 7 principles and by accessibility INCORRECT! CORRECT! Accessible approach and use of furniture (accessible connection between spaces EQUITABLE USE ) Furniture and equipment usability (tables ’ and banks ’ hight and form EQUITABLE USE, SIMPLE AND INTUITIVE USE, SIZE AND SPACE FOR APPROACH AND USE )
Infocommunications - examines by 7 principles and by accessibility INCORRECT! INCORRECT! Accessible approach of equipments/installations (connections between EQUITABLE USE, SIMPLE AND INTUITIVE USE, SIZE AND SPACE FOR APPROACH AND USE ) Accessible use of equipments/installations(platforms accessibility, accessible infocommunications-in different fields, infocommunicational treatments-actualizations EQUITABLE USE, SIMPLE AND INTUITIVE USE, FLEXIBILITY IN USE )
Good examples bad examples
Good and bad experiences CORRECT! CORRECT! Accessible walking routes (for all , followable and perceptible EQUITABLE USE, PERCEPTIBLE INFORMATION, MINIMIZE ERROR) Elevated vegetable beds (safe and secure, easy maintenance LOW PHYSICAL EFFORT, FLEXIBILITY ) Tactile, smeltable and tastable vegtables (additional infomations PERCEPTIBLE INFORMATION )
Good and bad experiences Approacable/accessible (or not) elements, sights, curiosities ( EQUITABLE USE ) Accessible additional informations in infocommunications (information for all, in equal way- EQUITABLE USE, PERCEPTIBLE INFORMATION )
How could accessibility and universal design realize? Good and bad experiences BY TRANSFORM COULD WORK! REPLANNING IS NECESSARY! Barrier free paths and routes! – walkable and „ wheelchair-friendly ” covers, size of slopes=5-8 % ( EQUITABLE USE, LOW PHYSICAL EFFORT) Borders ’ problems (connection of structures – max. 2 cm difference, followable lines for visual impaires persons EQUITABLE USE, PERCEPTIBLE INFORMATION) Choosable, different paths- different difficulties ( MINIMIZE PHYSICAL EFFORT )
Alternativ helping solutions
Who can be asked? EQUAL CHANCE Alternative assistive technologies e.g.- rentable mopeds, wheelchairs, Segway- for hard geography) Infocommunicational aids and developments e.g.- apps, accessible homepages (WCAG 2.0) Sensitizing programs with partners (organizations for persons with different kind of disabilities, schools )
