Between PWD requirements and responsible architecture

Responsible Architecture John Eilermann

We can appreciate more what many people refer to as “responsible architecture.” From green design to micro-apartments, the future of architecture looks to be headed in the right direction, which is to say, one that has the best interests of everyone at heart. John Eilermann.

Let’s focus on a topic on responsible architecture called “inclusive design.” Inclusive design pertains to the design of a building that’s PWD-friendly. Gone are the days that PWDs (persons with disabilities) are overlooked when it comes to designing and constructing projects. John Eilermann

Designing structures that are PWD-inclusive gives the architect a different dimension in creativity. From ramps, railings, handrails, lifts, and the like, the presence of these fixtures allows for a more unconventional design of the exteriors. John Eilermann.

However, it doesn’t end there. Inside many structures today, there have been PWD-inclusive fixtures added by interior designers, architects, and construction companies. And it helps a lot that all of these additions to the structure is governed by law and required by the government.

After all, architecture means nothing if it isn’t responsible. John Eilermann
