Product 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 "Its 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

This book contains plenty of examples related to the authors standpoint on Universal Design. While most books on Universal Design are about the accessibility in the space, this books is dealing with lot about the things. On top of everything, the authors use easy, straightforward vocabulary, so the book is helpful not only for the experts but novices, too. Strongly recommend to the students who study universal design as well as design professionals who actually perform their ability to designing 'something for the world'
