Summary:
This text has been written by an architect, specialist in cognitive accessibility of the habitat, whose background in theoretical matters is sufficiently demonstrated in publications prior to this one and in public and private projects developed including people with cognitive functional diversity in the
evaluation and design process: inclusion that deserves attention to better understand what is developed in this new volume.
Its importance compared to other approaches is to share a language and an analysis and design methodology based on the functioning of people for their orientation through easy understanding of environments.
Materials from the author’s previous books have been included, which have served as a basic source of information to be read in this one. The concepts derived from the “Model for designing accessible spaces, cognitive spectrum” in its two editions and the communication language constitute completely original elements that are offered to professionals and institutions to facilitate the framing and strategies of their projects, but above all, increase the quality of life of all people.
