Description
"Our individual disability becomes a handicap only when we encounter a barrier." - George Covington, Co-author "Why not consider designing for your lifetime, not just your primetime?" - Jane Langmiur, Architect "Universal design is good design because it is design for the user and not design for the designer." - Marc Harrison, IDSA, Professor, Rhode Island School of Design "The issue is not so much, 'what a great idea!,' as how did we get it wrong for so long?" - Geoff Hollington, Universal Designer, Geoff Hollington Associates "It's a way of thinking; a new ingredient to design education and professional practice that can become a catalyst for invigorating our design sensibilities." - Bill Palmer, Architect, Hellmuth, Obata, & Kassabaum, Inc. "A designed object, product, building, or landscape earns the term Universal Design only if, in its final built state, it works properly in one form for everyone." - Kevin Owens, Director of Product Development for Play/Designs & Playworld Systems
