Objectives

The course aims to make the student acquire the ability to understand and sustain the critically constructed space, relating it to the issue of accessibility in a general theoretical and cultural perspective, referring to the subject proposed for the specific course. At the same time, the lessons will suggest a post-critical path to the answers that architecture is called to give in favor of the expanded and non-standardized users, from a global (de-regulated and unstable) and local (backward and conservative) context. ). We therefore aim at the awareness of a representation that can show how the knowledge of universality is today decisive in "keeping the direction" of the creative, representative, popular and cognitive process of architectural thought in the presence of disability.

Architecture is the art of arranging and adorning buildings, raised by man for whatever purpose, so that their simple sight can contribute to health, strength, and enjoyment of the spirit. - John Ruskin-

It analyzes the knowledge of the architecture connected to the UNIVERSAL design and no longer to the STANDARD.The built space, is in relation to the awareness of the equality between individuals.The fruition of urban environments therefore, and of the territorial ones in general, in a universal context and not classified or precluded by barriers.Elimination of the concept itself of BARRIER, be it architectural or social nature.The overcoming is therefore critical, aimed at the interpretation of obsolete and classed legislation and represents the awakening of social values, of those concrete values conquered by research and suffering. The role of the occupational therapist is therefore seen in the context of the universality of the values of man, a man who is a social individual, skilled, or more or less skilled, who is placed in the space that surrounds him.

Architecture is the art of arranging and adorning buildings, raised by man for whatever purpose, so that their simple sight can contribute to health, strength, and enjoyment of the spirit. - John Ruskin, 1854

DESIGN PRINCIPLES FOR EXPANDED EXPERTISE SUMMARY
• THE STANDARD FOR THE SUPERVISION OF BARRIERS
ARCHITECTURAL
• SYNTHETIC PICTURE

Designing for Extended Users means creating spaces, products and services that can be used by as many people as possible, so as to be compatible with the many different abilities that human beings can present in the course of their existence.

ACCESSIBILITY IN BUILDINGS
• ACCESSIBILITY
• VISITABILITY
• ADAPTABILITY
• THE DIFFERENT PHASES OF DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROJECT
• ACCESSIBILITY TO THE DIFFERENT SCALE OF THE PROJECT
• THE CHOICE OF PRODUCTS AND MATERIALS
• TIME DURATION
• INTENDED USE: PUBLIC AND PRIVATE
• PUBLIC BUILDINGS
• PRIVATE BUILDINGS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
• PRIVATE BUILDINGS
ACCESSIBILITY is the possibility, even for people with reduced or impeded motor or sensory ability, to reach the building and its individual real estate and environmental units, to easily enter and use spaces and equipment in conditions of adequate security and autonomy "

• ADJUSTMENT OF THE ACCOMMODATION
The emergence of a disability involves a change in the physical performance of the person who inevitably gain some difficulties in the use of the built space.

• A HOME WITH ACCESSIBLE DESIGN
• MORNING, BEDROOM
• IN THE BATHROOM
• IN THE KITCHEN
• IN THE STAY-STUDIO
• GO OUT

If a pair of glasses can receive the design attention of a famous designer because they can not also receive the other aids that in addition to a series of important technical requirements require and deserve good design and a current image.

• ACCESSIBLE SOLUTIONS
• PARKING ROUTES OF RACCDRDO
• INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL FLOORING
• DOORS
• WINDOWS
• THE HYGIENIC LOCAL: WC
• THE HYGIENIC LOCAL: LAVABO
• THE FITTING SLIDE
• RAMP
• THE LIFT
• THE SERVOSCALA

What does inaccessibility mean? Inaccessibility can mean many things. It can mean not being able to enter a room and, consequently, not being able to socialize with the people who are inside. It may mean not accessing a service, for example, not being able to send
a registered letter, not being able to attend that lecture at the University. It can mean not being able to integrate, not having the opportunity to be active and to participate. In short: it can mean being cut off from the game of life.

Teaching Methods

The activities carried out in the course are aimed at getting the student to become familiar with the vision of urban and urban spaces, of planning in general and of architecture linked to the presence and overcoming of architectural, social, religious and linguistic barriers.Through an activity carried out in the classroom, as far as possible, we will try to develop and deepen the meaning of the notions necessary to understand the scope of architectural forms, of the built space and thus face the complex system. Clarity of conception and above all the ability to assimilate the meaning of spaces connected to the presence of universality and no more than the standard, will be the qualities cultivated. The tools will be connected to a virtual design of maximum and to a non-vulgar use of the essential symbolism in the subject.

Evaluation methods

Verification of learning:

The theoretical part aims at making the student understand the value of the architectural representation of spaces. This will be pursued through the study of the relationships between architecture (built environment) and the various forms of communication with accessibility.
The concept is therefore complementary to the significant arguments that deal with the value of design in the extended user area. Today, interesting universal projects are at the base of accessible architecture, in a dense network of interconnections that invest social and humanitarian issues. In continuity with what has been done in recent years with research and architectural teaching, the course should not be considered "only" as an opportunity to learn "technically" certain procedures but, above all, as a new phase of a training process that allows the student to gradually acquire the basic cultural and methodological references to critically understand the scope of architecture in the context of accessibility.
The course takes place through a series of theoretical lessons, reviews and assisted themed exercises. During the lessons the research themes will be illustrated and all indications on methods, tools and procedures of representation to be adopted will be provided. Traditional lessons (frontal) for a total of 20 (twenty) hours (with attendance of at least 80%) with in-depth discussions and discussions on individual cases chosen by the teacher.
