Universal
Design – a Global Paradigm, is a course designed to educate on a holistic view
of UD and it’s contributing factors. The Seven Principles of Universal Design will
be covered and then we review the scope of the term “ability”, address the
various human factors affected by disabilities, and how design can either
diminish or enhance those abilities. The presentation then works through how to
blend UD principles into actual structural and interior design planning and
selection.
