Beyond Building Codes: Designing Spaces for Everyone
Builders and architects are overwhelmingly misinformed on the realities of what it takes to make our shared spaces accessible. Why is this?
One of Canada’s top built environment accessibility experts, Thea Kurdi, makes it clear that a few persistent misconceptions continue to counter efforts to make our shared spaces fully accessible. Those misconceptions are:
- Building codes insure accessibility
- Accessible buildings will be more expensive
- Accessible buildings will be ugly
In this episode, you’ll learn why all three of these ideas are misguided and what you can do to make our shared spaces more accessible.
