Definition

• Design for All is the design for human diversity, social inclusion and equality. The practice of Design for All makes conscious use of the analysis of the needs and human aspirations and requires the involvement of end users at every stage of the design process.

• This holistic and innovative approach constitutes a creative and ethical challenge for all planners, designers, entrepreneurs, administrators and political leaders.

• It deals primarily with processes and methods with the three-legged approach: project eco-friendly, affordable and usable.

• Design for All means designing environments, systems, products and services available independently from people with diverse needs and abilities.

Universal design and Inclusive Design

• Universal Design means the design of products and environments usable by all, as much as possible without adjustments or special solutions. It's spread in the United States, it tends to aim to the final product, using rules of easy application. It may have short-term benefits, but fails to create the awareness of social inclusion in decision-makers and planners.

• Inclusive Design is much common in the United Kingdom and it’s very close to the concept of Design for All. All the environmental, engineering, architecture, products projects and processes must meet as much as possible the diversity of human needs.
