Abstract

This paper outlines the evaluation of a print-based Design for All (DfA) manual. The purpose was to understand if and how a DfA manual can be used as a tool to inspire students (future architects) in designing an inclusive project to transform theory into practice. The DfA manual has been used and tested during a workshop that took place at the UDweek 2016 in Hasselt, Belgium. Our results show that the manual was favorably received, particularly in the areas of the manual’s visual presentation. Conversely, short guidelines, as mean to transfer knowledge, was perceived as too prescriptive. Furthermore, more information to generate insights on users’ needs are required and the static format of the manual can’t satisfy the different ways students prefer to access information. The research provides interesting criteria on how to create a more relevant and useable DfA manual; however, further studies are required to elaborate upon these.

In 2006, European Institute for Design and Disability (EIDD) changed its name to Design for All Europe.

The three curators of the workshop were Pete Kercher ambassador at EIDD - Design for All Europe; Jasmien Herssesn architect and professor at the Faculty of Architecture and Arts of Hasselt University; and Megan Strickfaden designer, anthropologist and associate professor at the University of Alberta.

According to Herssens [9] planes can afford certain actions in the built environment and there are three kinds of affordances regarding haptic experience in the built environment: moving, guiding, resting.
 
5
Haptic design parameters have been developed by J. Herssens to form the Framework of Haptic Design Parameters [8, 9]. Through the framework information are elaborated from the perception of people born blind to give design solutions useful for all architects.

For instance, a student that prefers architectural elements organization asserts: “In this way you can search to something more specific (for example, when you need some more information about a ramp or a stair) while you are designing”. While, a student that prefer users’ needs wrote: “it is more clear to me because they describe every haptic parameter by the action of the user instead of per architectural elements that might be less clear to people without an architectural background”.
 
7
Some students pointed out that the short duration of the workshop did not allow them to accurately read all the design guidelines. Indeed, only the students really interested consulted the manual in detail, instead the tool should be easy to use in order to allow everyone to use it.
