ACCESSIBLE ARCHITECTURE: BEYOND THE RAMP – OCTOBER 2016<br />
The above image is a rendering by Jared Schmidts of my father moving up the sloping sidewalk to<br />
the front door of my house, from my adult children’s book Accessible Architecture: A Visit from<br />
Pops.<br />
“Buildings should never be designed simply as sculpted objects to be viewed; the design aims to<br />
be usable by as many people as possible.<br />
When architects design buildings that cannot accommodate people with disabilities and others, the<br />
strength of their design is compromised. Accessible architecture is not about limiting design options.<br />
It is about bringing value and meaning to design.”<br />
