Accessible Architecture: Age and Disability-Friendly Planning and Building in the 21st Century

Freedom from barriers makes possible an independent and self-determined lifestyle, encouraging mobility and integration in the cohabitation of all groups of people, including different age-groups. Approximately 50 current projects are presented with the help of texts, photos, plans and diagrams. They communicate a modern language of form, helping to create and shape contemporary living spaces for people. A provocative plea for genuinely barrier-free building and an illustrated commentary on the DIN norms round off this new standard work.
