Class: Design Studies 322, Interior Design II, Lesley Sager
Major: Interior Design
This piece is connected to deign because it challenged me to design a space that is accessible according to the standards of the Americans With Disabilities Act, while also coming up with a design that is creative, innovative, sustainable, and aesthetically pleasing. First, we needed to think about how design relates to those with disabilities. This meant coming up with design that facilitates easy use and access around the space. This included making sure that there was a sixty inch turn around in critical spaces to allow for wheelchairs, and making sure all doors, corridors, and surfaces were safe and accessible for everyone. This project was a study in universal design and challenged us as students to consider multiple types of people and scenarios.
