“Universal design is about design for all people with all types and levels of abilities,” says Jon A. Sanford, M.Arch, setting the tone for his new book focused not on disabilities and how they impact or are impacted by the environment, but on designs that improve the environment for everyone, including those with challenges accessing their surroundings.
