Access to the Historic Environment: Meeting the Needs of Disabled People

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Access for disabled people in historic settings is more than just a temporary ramp over the front steps for a wheelchair user. 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.
