• The design of products, buildings, or environments to make them accessible to all people, regardless of age, disability or other factors. The term “universal design” was coined by the architect Ronald Mace to describe the concept of designing all products and the built environment to be aesthetic and usable to the greatest extent possible by everyone, regardless of their age, ability, or status in life. However, it was the work of Selwyn Goldsmith, author of Designing for the Disabled (1963), who pioneered the concept of free access for people with disabilities. Goldsmith’s most significant achievement was the creation of the dropped curb—now a standard feature of the built environment. ← Wikipedia
