Topics covered in lectures/exercises and seminars: 1. Introduction, history of barrier-free environment development in the Czech Republic and abroad, and basic technical terms. 2. Principles of creating barrier-free environments from the perspective of people with mobility impairments, including the application of principles of universal design (DfA). 3. Experiential seminar from the perspective of a person in a wheelchair and acquiring knowledge through anthropometry. 4. Principles for creating an accessible environment for people with visual impairments, including the application of universal design (DfA) principles. 5. An experiential seminar from the perspective of a person with severe visual impairment and learning how to walk using a long white cane. 6. Principles of creating a barrier-free environment from the perspective of people with hearing or other cognitive disabilities, including the use of universal design principles (DfA). 7. Designing connecting structures from the perspective of building accessibility according to current legislation: staircases, ramps, elevators, inclined and vertical platforms. 8. Specifics of designing sanitary facilities and changing rooms according to different types of buildings. 9. Methodology for designing barrier-free access in public buildings, apartment buildings, special-purpose apartments, and structures for people with severe disabilities. 10. Universal design in urban environment planning (paved areas, parking spaces, ground-level roads, public transit stops according to vehicle type). Materials for tactile and visual contrast. 11. Mapping of buildings and public spaces, methodology and theoretical section. 12. Mapping of buildings and public spaces in practice in a selected urban location. 13. Field trips to selected buildings. 14. Practicing acquired knowledge and consultation on required drawings and text sections.

Learning outcomes

The aim of the course is to teach and reinforce typological principles for the design of all types of buildings in terms of barrier-free accessibility and the use of buildings by people with physical, visual, hearing, and mental disabilities or other impairments. Students will use a project from their studio work or pre-prepared documentation and, following individual lectures, will incorporate the acquired knowledge?i.e., the 7 principles of universal design?so that their designs do not discriminate against people of different ages and conditions. The modified building will integrate with the urban environment and include necessary modifications to paved public spaces, including material design. The course also includes experiential seminars where each student gains firsthand experience from the perspective of a person with a specific disability. Field trips to selected buildings (e.g., healthcare and social service facilities or transportation terminals) with expert commentary are provided. Students will acquire the basics of mapping barrier-free accessibility based on a pre-selected urban environment, which can be applied in practice to develop barrier-free master plans and accessible routes in the area. This interdisciplinary knowledge can be applied in civil engineering, urban planning, and the design of any interior environment.
1. Respects the needs of users of various ages, health conditions, and abilities when designing buildings and public spaces. 2. Collaborates with experts from various fields (architecture, construction, social services, transportation engineering) in designing accessible environments. 3. Critically evaluates architectural solutions in terms of inclusivity and social sustainability. 4. Is able to present and defend a design in terms of its functionality for all users. 5. Applies interdisciplinary knowledge in civil engineering, urban planning, and interior design.
