CHALLENGES AND BEST PRACTICES
Illya Azaroff, founder of +LAB Architect PLLC, president-elect of the American Institute of Architects, and professor at New York City College of Technology, advocates for Universal Design.
“Universal Design is a part of
sustainability. Accessibility must be a part of all design projects, so people
with disabilities can have quality of life and [the built environment] allows
aging in place.
No one person or building is static.
Architects are positioned as collaborators who can create buildings that can
change use and function while accommodating all abilities.
It’s a part of sustainable, healthy
building.”
Universal Design creates flexibility.
A dwelling unity can grow with the
occupants and support aging in place.
