How and why the Do-gooders Club initiated a discussion on universal design at the International Congress of Young Architects and Designers.
Ronald Mason, an architect who has used a wheelchair since childhood, coined the term “universal design” to describe the concept of creating a living space that is aesthetically pleasing and as comfortable as possible for everyone without exception, regardless of health, age, ability or status.
“We believe that the setting of universal design should be “embedded” in the thinking of architects, become the norm of thinking and responsible professionals integrated into the global architectural process. After all, to build cities and develop territories with human diversity in mind is to understand the demand of the times.”
