Download or read book The City at Eye Level written by Meredith Glaser and published by Eburon Uitgeverij B.V.. This book was released on 2012 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although rarely explored in academic literature, most inhabitants and visitors interact with an urban landscape on a day-to-day basis is on the street level. Storefronts, first floor apartments, and sidewalks are the most immediate and common experience of a city. These "plinths" are the ground floors that negotiate between inside and outside, the public and private spheres. The City at Eye Level qualitatively evaluates plinths by exploring specific examples from all over the world. Over twenty-five experts investigate the design, land use, and road and foot traffic in rigorously researched essays, case studies, and interviews. These pieces are supplemented by over two hundred beautiful color images and engage not only with issues in design, but also the concerns of urban communities. The editors have put together a comprehensive guide for anyone concerned with improving or building plinths, including planners, building owners, property and shop managers, designers, and architects.

Download or read book Barrier Free Design written by James Holmes-Seidle and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-08-21 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book for architects, interior designers, building managers, students, conference organisers looks at first principles to provide the user with the 'tools' to make their own decisions rather than a 'cookbook' approach. It is intended that designs and product information can be taken straight from the manual and inserted into ongoing projects. For the first time the book considers the needs of people with visual, hearing and mental disabilities, who make up the majority of disabled people in the population, alongside those of people with physical mobility disabilities. Practical low cost solutions to retro-fitting existing buildings are discussed, as well as the methods used to assess the suitability of an existing building, and assembling a project to improve access for disabled people. Specific products and designs are illustrated and discussed - with full working technical drawings, and full specification details. These will reduce considerably the research time needed to produce a cost-effective solution that will improve access for disabled people. A perspective of the standards and legislation dealing with access issues in the UK is compared with those in other countries, and the standards mentioned are compared with the realities of practical implementation carried out in 4 years of design in this area.

Download or read book Basics Barrier Free Planning written by Isabella Skiba and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2020-11-23 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Only a small proportion of the population fully relies on barrier freedom, but many people consider it an essential aid in everyday situations. It is therefore important to create a built environment without obstacles in which all people can move and orientate themselves as safely as possible and without help. For this reason, the needs and requirements of people with disabilities – but also of children – are important considerations in the design of buildings, in particular public and residential buildings. Basics Barrier-free Planning illustrates these special requirements as well as options for the design of barrier-free spaces and buildings. In line with all volumes in the series, everything is explained straightforwardly, including practical examples.
Download or read book Barrier Free Design written by Canada. Public Works Canada. Technology and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The manual describes, for people with physical disabilities, a building standard of accessibility and the policy for its application. Policies address both new construction and renovation work based on principles of building accessibility to a broad range of users, public service accessibility, and equality of access to employment opportunities. Two levels of accessibility are noted: basic (parking facilities; route from parking areas to public transportation; and public telephone, elevators, or washrooms) and comprehensive (all work areas, employee restrooms, cafeterias, lounges, etc.). Design requirements which make up the bulk of the manual are presented for five areas (exterior circulation, entry, interior circulation, washrooms, and cafeterias) and 11 components (sloped surfaces, grab bars/handrails, stairs, floors, doors, elevators, washroom fixtures, drinking fountains, parking spaces, counters, and telephones). Appended information covers such aspects as wheelchair maneuvering and cane use by people with visual impairments. (CL)
Download or read book Designing for Disabled Children and Children with Special Educational Needs written by Great Britain. Department for Children, Schools and Families and published by Stationery Office Books (TSO). This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building Bulletin 102 provides a framework for designing new school buildings for disabled children and children with special educational needs (SEN) within any setting, mainstream or special. The purpose of this title is to offer a strategic master plan and a carefully considered brief to ensure that the design takes on board the organisation, aims and priorities of the school. This bulletin sets out 'inclusive design principles' that should underpin every project for disabled children and those with SEN. Case studies and illustrated examples are provided to show how these design principles can be implemented. The central chapters are divided by phase of education, highlighting to local authorities and all those involved in the early stages of a project the key features when designing specific school spaces. Technical guidance follows, covering building construction, environmental services and the ICT needed to support children with SEN and disabilities. Supersedes and replaces Building bulletins 77, Designing for pupils with special educational needs (1992, ISBN 9780112707967), 91, Access for disabled people to school buildings (1999, ISBN 9780112710622) and 94, Inclusive school design (2001, ISBN 9780112711094).
