| Access for disabled people in historic
settings is more than just a temporary ramp over the front steps for
a wheelchair user. It is commitment to create integrated use and enjoyment
of cultural and civic historic monuments for everyone, including people
with mobility or sensory impairments, older people, parents with small
children, or those temporarily disabled as a result of illness or
injury. This book examines flexible and pragmatic solutions to improve
circulation in buildings by overcoming level changes, addition of
handrails and other facilities which achieve the basic goal of dignified
access, and which protect a building's special architectural character.
It features practical guidelines and illustrated case study material,
with examples of how to improve access in different types of historic
buildings including Georgian, and neo-classical buildings, historic
monuments, country houses, gardens and landscapes. |
