Universal design seeks to enhance the routine activities of the greatest number of people, embracing a wide spectrum of age groups and physical differences. It is an outgrowth of contemporary culture's emphasis on diversity as designers and corporations respond to current demographic shifts. Postwar baby boomers, the largest segment of today's consumer population, are beginning to anticipate and experience the effects of aging.
Universally designed products and environments offer greater safety and increased comfort. They are easy to operate and flexible to meet the needs of different people. |
