Inclusive Design : Implementation and Evaluation

This volume focuses on inclusive design and its allied fields―ergonomics, accessibility, and participatory design. This book aims for the direct application of inclusive design concepts and technical information into architectural and interior design practices, construction, facilities management, and property development. A central goal is to illustrate the aesthetic, experiential, qualitative, and economic consequences of design decisions and methods. The book is intended to be a ‘first-source’ reference―at the desk or in the field―for design professionals, contractors and builders, developers, and building owners.
