Title: Fast Guide to Accessibility Design
Description: "This book contains a number of indications to achieve the accessible design. You can read it as a summary, as a checklist of choices to make and to avoid, or - even better - to find accessible architectural solutions. Because accessibility and inclusion concern any architectural project just like wall, foundations, power lines and windows. Accessibility is not an issue to be addressed once the project is finished just placing a "disabled" sign to the ladies' restroom and installing a very tall toilet; it must be considered from the start in order to make sensible and functional choices that are consistent with the general architectural and aesthetic choices. This book is divided in areas/phases (public spaces, buildings, furniture and indications): you can refer to the chapters you need depending on what you are designing and its actual design stage to make your own inclusive and accessible choices."--back cover.

New in the architectural series (previous published in this series: 'The Fast Guide to Architectural Form', ISBN 9789063694111, 2016) is 'The Fast Guide to Accessibility Design'. Written by Baires Raffaelli, this book explores ways to create a project that focuses on accessibility. It is a reminder that serves as a checklist for those who design everyday spaces we live in. It is a random (but not too random) collection of indications to make cities more accessible. This book wants to remind us that we are not alone and as long as we take this into consideration, we will design welcoming, inclusive and functional spaces.
