Product Description

Product Description

Inclusive design, universal design and universal access are long standing, familiar terms with clear and laudable goals. However, their teaching and industrial uptake has been very limited. Many products still exclude users unnecessarily for reasons ranging from corporate insensitivity and the size of the market for inclusive products to the individual designer's inability to design them. This pragmatic approach to making inclusive design desirable to industry addresses these issues and discusses why existing methods have failed to be assimilated into industry. Through the use of case studies and examples, Countering Design Exclusion introduces the mind-set necessary to think through the challenges raised by inclusive design and to adapt their solutions to the needs of particular companies. The practical outlook will appeal to anyone who wishes to take account of the largest possible part of the population in their designs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inclusive design - Design for all, 10 April 2010
By 
Alexandre Carreira (Porto, Portugal) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Countering Design Exclusion: An introduction to inclusive design (Paperback)
Countering Design Exclusion: An Introduction to Inclusive Design - As a student, I had this book listed on the Reading List. I bought it and read it and I was glad I did - it is clear, straightforward and simple. Just like I think things should be presented. I say that is a book not only for students in Accessibilities for People with special needs, as in my case, but it is a reading that is worth for everybody to understand that in many situations it is the environment that we build that creates descrimination and that it is simple to avoid those situations
