As a part of the elective on BARRIER FREE ARCHITECTURE, 4th year B Arch students were given an exercise to conduct access-audit of their own college building. They were guided by Prof. Kavita Murugkar.
The students identified various physical barriers that a differently abled person may face while moving in the building and documented them on physical maps. After the audit, they worked on probable solutions to overcome these barriers. Layouts and sketch up views were made to demonstrate the proposed changes. The main areas where design interventions are proposed are the entrance / exits to the building, staircases and toilets.
Students referred to national and international standards for barrier-free design and used them in their designs.
