Architecture for Inclusive Communities: Designing for People with Disabilities

Thesis Abstract

This project focuses on architecture for inclusive communities, specifically designing spaces that cater to the needs of people with disabilities. Inclusive design principles aim to create environments that are accessible, functional, and welcoming for all individuals, regardless of their physical or cognitive abilities. This research will explore best practices, guidelines, and case studies of inclusive design in various architectural typologies, such as residential buildings, public spaces, and educational facilities. By analyzing user experiences and conducting accessibility audits, this project aims to provide architects and designers with insights and strategies to create inclusive environments that promote equality and social integration.
