Inclusive architecture: accessibility and use of cultural sites
People
Course director
Description
In recent decades, places of culture – such as museums, monuments, archaeological precincts, archives, libraries, theatres and cinemas – are increasingly configured as privileged spaces for multisensory experiences, nurtured by the productive interaction between physical space and the individual’s specific motor, cognitive and sensory abilities. This can have problematic repercussions in terms of accessibility and the use of spaces, which are not always secured for the users – with or without disabilities – in an egalitarian way, often ignoring the fact that each person perceives the world through their senses and the physical and intellectual resources they possess. It is therefore essential for the design of cultural sites to take into account the basic principles of inclusive architecture and of Design for All.
Objectives
Partendo dal presupposto che “ogni individuo ha il diritto di prendere parte liberamente alla vita culturale della comunità, di godere delle arti e di partecipare al progresso scientifico e ai suoi benefici” (Dichiarazione universale dei diritti umani, art. 27), il corso intende indagare alcune nozioni fondamentali relative all’accessibilità e fruizione pubblica dei luoghi della cultura, offrendo al contempo una base teorica per la progettazione inclusiva. Inoltre, provvede ad analizzare criticamente la qualità spaziale delle diverse tipologie di luoghi della cultura attraverso la presentazione di casi studio.
