| Course Objectives | This course aims for students’ achievement of basic of Universal Design theories and principles. The awareness of Universal Design being a userfocused correct way of design, and not something to addon after the design project is finished is portrayed with the principles and examples. The course that begins with a background and history on Universal Design, continues with definitions of BarrierFree and Accessible Design as well as theories, principles and applications. |

| Course Description | Within the course, various scaled projects are analyzed and redesigned in a “universal” way. The topics discussed in a parallel fashion with an Ergonomic base, aim to provide an elaborate understanding of designing spaces that not only accommodate and become functional for wheelchair users, but all kinds of people. Universal Design is often neglected in design education. It is seen as something that is sterile and a compulsory feature for disabled persons; as something that contradicts the creativity of a design project. The aim is for students to gain an understanding of the topic as an approach that is inclusive regardless of age, skill, or gender. |
