When it comes to Architecture, it is important that everyone, no matter what their circumstance is, are accommodated.
According to this article, the number of people with some form of a disability amongst the population is estimated around 1 billion. The majority of the people that suffer from a disability come from countries that are less fortunate than others.
When creating new architectural projects, architects need to ensure that they accommodate the needs of the less fortunate.
Here are some examples of projects that have been carefully composed to adapt to people with a disability.
Villa T Extension, OFIS architects, Ljubljana, Slovenia:
All the floor surfaces were designed so that the site was easy for people with
wheelchairs to access.
Hazelwood School, Alan Dunlop Architect Limited, Glasgow:
Designed for deaf and blind students.
Cachalotes House, Gonzalez Moix Arquitectura, Lima:
