Universal Design - Architecture versus Design?

IUD Institut für Universal Design GmbH & Co. KG

  • — Vortrag

Universal Design is not only a design topic, but rather an interdisciplinary task. A discourse on current challenges in architecture.

Impulse
We have to observe that 70 percent of existing products do not work. Humans have tried to master an increasingly complex world with equally complex technologies. The result is products, architectures and services that are just as complex as the technology behind them. Instead of something simple for all, this results in something complicated for a few. Universal Design opposes this development - an attitude that focuses on people at all levels of design.
