Universal Design In Building: Discussion
Ms Ruth O'Reilly:
In some ways, I see it as an issue of quality versus quantity. I understand there is a huge emphasis on the number of units being provided but it is also about the type of units. When talking about quantity it is about getting the greatest number of units onto a site, which pushes units smaller and smaller. Having enough space allocated to a unit so it can be designed in accordance with the universal design standards is critical.
