Inclusive Accessible Design - Legislation Maze

Inclusive Accessible Design will help designers to take a creative approach in responding to the requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995, Part M of the Building Regulations and BS 8300:2001. Organised logically and in line with the new "RIBA Plan of Work", the guide alerts designers to the information required to make decisions about access and inclusive design at the appropriate time during the course of a building project. Fully cross-referenced and including useful flowcharts for designing dwellings and non-dwellings, the book is an invaluable route-map to successfully designing buildings that take account of all users. The Legislation Maze series comprises short, easy-to-use topic-based guides for architects, construction professionals and students in construction-related fields. Under the editorial management of highly respected architects Sarah Lupton and Manos Stellakis, it focuses on aspects of design and job management controlled by legislation, regulations and codes where these are otherwise difficult and time-consuming to assimilate.
