Design for disable – toilet details
This document discusses design considerations for accessible toilets for disabled people. It aims to provide a barrier-free environment to allow independence, convenience and safety. Accessible toilets should have a minimum size of 1500x1750mm with a 1500mm diameter turning circle. Features include non-slip floors, grab bars, accessible water closets and lavatories mounted at appropriate heights, insulated pipes and signage with tactile differences. Dimensions and reach ranges are specified for space allowances. Layouts and details of doors, handrails, water closets and lavatories are provided.
The british school design case study
This document provides details about the design and construction of The British School in New Delhi, India. The project involved expanding the existing school from 650 to 1,300 students while construction was ongoing. This was achieved by first building a perimeter block on unused land, then renovating the vacated existing school. Sustainable design strategies like passive cooling, maximum daylighting, and renewable energy systems were used to reduce energy consumption by 73% compared to benchmarks. The $19.6 million project received a 5-star GRIHA rating for its environmentally friendly design.
Noise reduction
This document discusses various methods for noise reduction in architectural design. It covers sound isolation techniques like using solid doors, double pane windows, and sealing openings. It discusses reducing sound transmission between rooms by following construction standards. Specific techniques are mentioned like using mass barriers, resilient channels, and soundproof drywall. Landscape elements can absorb sound through plants' leaves, branches and bark. Built forms like balconies and screen walls can reflect or block noise. Land use planning allocates noisy and quiet uses to different zones to prevent noise exposure. The document recommends identifying the noise source, measuring sound levels, and using appropriate absorbing materials to solve noise control problems.

Amphitheatre.pptx
An amphitheatre is an outdoor theater with a semi-circular or fan-shaped auditorium facing a stage. Key factors in amphitheatre design include selecting a site with good topographical, meteorological, and acoustic properties. The slope of seating should be at least 12 degrees for better visibility and audibility. Stage height varies depending on the number of spectators, from 8 to 16 inches for up to 100 spectators up to 24 to 32 inches for 300 to 500 spectators. Precautions must be taken to ensure noise levels do not exceed 45-50 decibels and wind speeds do not exceed 16 km/h.

Veterans with Disabilities Toolkit
WASHINGTON, D.C., November 11, 2014—Today the Equal Rights Center (ERC)—a national non-profit civil rights organization—released a new toolkit to help veterans with disabilities advocate for accessible housing.
“Every year, hundreds of thousands of veterans return home to new challenges and barriers due to physical and mental disabilities resulting from their service to and for our country,” said Melvina Ford, executive director of the ERC. “Under the federal Fair Housing Act, these veterans are entitled to accessible housing and beyond that our gratitude and respect.”
According to government sources, 45 percent of the 1.6 million veterans from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are now seeking compensation for service-related disabilities, more than double the estimate of 21 percent who filed such claims after the Gulf War.
The lack of available accessible housing for these veterans with disabilities contributes to higher rates of unemployment and homelessness. Approximately 12 percent of the homeless population is made up of veterans, which in real numbers amounts to almost 50,000 homeless veterans on our streets.
“Our veterans—particularly those who return home with service-related disabilities—deserve equal treatment and opportunity in all aspects of their new lives,” said James Schenck, president and CEO of Pentagon Federal Credit Union (PenFed). “It is imperative that we ensure that veterans with disabilities have the resources and education to be effective advocates for themselves and their families.”
The Veterans with Disabilities Toolkit highlights the rights to accessible housing afforded to veterans with disabilities under Title XIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, known as the Fair Housing Act (FHA). This toolkit provides: an overview of the rights provided by the federal FHA, information on accessible design requirements of multifamily development, how to request a reasonable modification or accommodation from property owners or managers and answers to frequently asked questions.
Universal Design, Accessibility, and the Typing Experience
The term "universal design" describe the concept of designing products to be aesthetic and usable to the greatest extent possible by everyone, regardless of their age, ability, or status in life.
The typing experience, particularly on mobile and tablet devices, is a poor experience, but it's even worse for users with only one hand! If we were going to re-design cross-device typing systems, how would we go about it?
Through the lens of typists who only have the use of one hand or arm, this presentation outlines the difference between universal design and accessible design, and how universal design could be a step in the right direction toward creating a better typing experience for not only disabled typists, but for us all!
Barrier Free Design
The document discusses barrier free design and universal design. It aims to provide an accessible environment for all people, regardless of ability, through inclusive design. Key points include:
- The goal is for everyone to access and participate in everyday activities independently without assistance.
- Accessible design benefits all people, not just those with disabilities. It is now recognized as a basic necessity.
- Inclusive design considers the needs of people with physical, sensory, and cognitive disabilities as well as other groups like the elderly.
- Accessible features include appropriate widths, slopes, railings, signage, and more to accommodate wheelchairs and other mobility devices.
Universal architectural design
The document discusses universal design and its principles. It was coined by architect Ronald Mace to describe designing products and environments to be accessible to all people regardless of ability. The principles include flexibility, intuitive use, and accommodating a wide range of abilities. The document compares a top-down versus bottom-up approach and analyzes two infrastructure projects in Delhi - the Indraprastha project which failed due to a lack of coordination between agencies, and the Delhi Metro which succeeded through inclusive design and viewing disabled people as customers.
