Illustrating actual building design solutions that have been
created to improve accessibility for disabled patrons and
performers, the 'Journey Sequence' outlines the best examples of
design innovation produced in response to new and upcoming
legislation.
A knowledge of how to design for the disabled can be crucial in
winning contracts and having designs accepted. This book shows how
the practical implications have already been successfully
approached.
Covering the whole sequence from parking, to entry, and including
details of facilities for the visually and hearing impaired users,
advice is given on the methods designers should use in assessing
the requirements of disabled people. This is not a publication
giving theoretical prescription but rather an illustrated record of
achievements in buildings of all sizes where proper access to the
disabled has been created. It includes 14 case studies and examples
that illustrate the diverse ways that accessibility has been
incorporated into arts buildings throughout the UK. This includes
Cinemas, Theatres, Concert Halls, Opera Houses, Museums and
Libraries. The author team highlights specific design details that
are particularly unique, to stimulate the reader and show that
creating better accessibility for the disabled both demands and
creates innovative design.
