Accessibility in Residential Habitat: Design Recommendations


Javiera Acevedo López, Mariela Gaete-Reyes and Nicol Robles Astudillo


This text aims to contribute, from a scientific research perspective, to the accessible architectural design of residential habitats. It presents design recommendations at the different territorial scales studied: housing, housing complexes, and neighborhoods. These recommendations are intended for use by residents, construction companies, and agents involved in the design and implementation of public policies in the housing and urban fields. The contributions of Corporación Accesible and SERVIU are acknowledged through their manuals and guidelines on this subject.

This book is intended for professionals and agents involved in the design and production of habitat: architects, urban planners, builders, sponsoring entities, and policymakers in the housing and urban sectors. It is also aimed at students in related fields, educators engaged with these topics, and people with different disabilities and their families.
