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)

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

Accessibility is basic reqiurement!

• 1. Equitable Use

• 2. Flexibility in Use

• 3. Simple and Intuitive Use

• 4. Perceptible information

• 6. Low physical effort

• 7. Size and Space for Approach and Use

Examinations/Tests

Entrances – examines by 7 principles and by accessibility

 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) CORRECT! INCORRECT!

 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

INCORRECT!

Inner routes and spaces - examines by 7 principles and by accessibility

CORRECT! 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)

Furniture and eqiupment - examines by 7 principles and by accessibility

INCORRECT! CORRECT!

Infocommunications - examines by 7 principles and by accessibility

 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)

INCORRECT! INCORRECT!

Good examples bad examples

 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

CORRECT! CORRECT!

 Approacable/accessible (or not) elements, sights, curiosities (EQUITABLE USE)  Accessible additional informations in infocommunications (information for all, in equal way- EQUITABLE USE, PERCEPTIBLE INFORMATION)

Good and bad experiences

 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) REPLANNING IS NECESSARY! BY TRANSFORM COULD WORK! How could accessibility and universal design realize?

Good and bad experiences

Alternativ helping solutions

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 ) Who can be asked?
