Enability: Enabling the Disabled

Abstract

Currently, in architecture there is a lack of urgency to design for inclusivity. There are guidelines put forward to create accessible buildings, but these guidelines are the minimum. The ADA guidelines, in general, ensure that all people can use all parts of a building and that people can get required information to get around a space. There are many kinds of disabilities that are not accounted for with these bare minimum rules and just as many creative solutions to include in designs to create a new way to design accessible buildings.
