ARCHITECTURE FOR ALL

Architects have an important role to play in the creation of inclusive, safe, and resilient built environments. Yet as a profession we continue to design buildings and spaces which exclude, often the most vulnerable in our society, including older people and people with disabilities. Inclusive design is fundamental to architectural quality. Universal access is a basic human right.

This 4th ICEA’s objective is to achieve the mission of the Department of Architecture to develop a built environment, sensitive and empathic towards human needs and a more equitable society through the global development, maintenance, and improvement of accessible and inclusive built environments. It works with students, architects, and the community at large. To encourage and promote equal access to the built environment, to remove barriers that create segregation, and to achieve sustainable buildings and places that are friendly, accessible, and understandable for everyone.
