BARCELONA'S FAMED CASA BATLOO
Casa Batllo has an tiny elevator, so it loans a narrow-width manual wheelchair to visitors with mobility impairments.
Now a museum, the fantastic house was remodeled into a modernist confection by legendary Catalan architect Atoni Gaudi.
It is in the Eixample area of Barcelona at Passeig de Gracia, 43.
That an 1800s house can be made visitable for people who use wheelchairs is a great testament to the need for universal design.
Its barrier-free accessibility also is a great example of accomplishment to throw in the face of naysayers who resist making even modern buildings accessible to people with mobility impairments.
