What is Accessible Architecture

Accessible architecture is an approach that combines design and implementation principles for people with disabilities or physical limitations. Accessible architecture aims to meet the needs and expectations of people with disabilities in their daily lives. Accessible buildings must comply with certain standards of design and implementation in order to facilitate the lives of people with disabilities and provide them with equal opportunities.

Accessible architecture regulates design features to enable people with disabilities to move easily and safely in all areas of buildings. These include elevators and ramps instead of stairs, wide doors and long corridors, properly designed toilets for people with disabilities, marking of vertical surfaces, and audible warnings for people with hearing impairments.

Accessible architecture is important to make life easier for people with disabilities and provide them with equal opportunities. Furthermore, accessible buildings can be defined as buildings that are more functional and useful for everyone.
