UNIVERSAL DESIGN IS THE PATH TO ACHIEVING IT
How can you be in the design business and pretend not to see that outdoor lifts fail to serve wheelchair users?
How disingenuous is it to say your studio designs for
all, but you create a 400-unit apartment building – with 100
reserved to be affordable/accessible dwellings – accessed by an outdoor
lift doomed to fail in less than a year of operation.
For the record, I have surveyed 100 lifts in Miami-Dade
County. More than 95% were nonfunctioning.
Many had been blocked by a potted plant.
Others led to locked doors.
