THE ADA TURNED 30, BUT THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT IS STILL FAR FROM INCLUSIVE (PART 4)

While many cities have shown efforts to implement accessible design since the 1990 adoption of the American Disabilities Act, more must be done


 

The New York City American Institute of Architects chapter dedicated virtually all of its recent Oculus quarterly publication to exploring issues of accessible design. 

Renown writers, expert in design and disability, shared vivid words and images on progress, challenges, pitfalls and trends. 

A topic very important to Familia Wright was explored: how to create design that is so universal, so creative, so seamless – that it doesn’t look like institutional “ADA" architecture.

In a nearly four-decade career as a journalist, public policy researcher and marketer – I have worked with hundreds of architects, planners and designers. Some rather famous.
