| Contents | The course starts from the general concept of disability and architectural barriers related to the terms of accessibility, visitability, adaptability, conditioned visibility, at the base of the problems encountered by people with disabilities, not just motor skills.The normative principles on architectural barriers relating to public and private property will be analyzed and how health protection is expressed towards individuals with disabilities of various kinds, in order to guarantee them the right of access to the life of the society, relative to Interior Design, Exhibit Design or Retail Design. |

| Educational objectives | The objectives in reference to the areas of Interior Design, Exhibit Design and Retail Design are the following: 1. Starting from the concept of disability framed from a legal and social point of view, and moving on to the concept of accessibility in its various forms (visitation, adaptability, conditional accessibility) in order to reach the wider usability, including through the use of alternative and compensatory solutions and pathways of involvement and participation of the persons concerned and their associations. 2. To reduce the marginalisation surrounding the issue of accessibility, to overcome the vision of disability as a key identifier of individual problems and dedicated solutions; to improve well-being, comfort and quality of use. 3. to bring the current design practice back into the Universal Design principles, as required by the UN Convention on the Right of Persons with disabilities (Italian law n. 18/2009); 4. to enable students to carry out a final project: an idea, a solution, a prototype on an identified theme. |
