Competencias profesionales fundamentales para el diseño de espacios accesibles e incluyentes. Una mirada interdisciplinar

Abstract

This work aims to add contributions to the analysis and interpretation of the design of an accessible and inclusive space. It starts from the idea that the physical inaccessibility that happens today, both in public and private spaces, is a consequence of the absence of some professional skills; For this reason, it is considered that many accessibility problems not only derive from the design but also from the people who are responsible for the process of materializing it. Under this perspective, some strategies for the analysis and evaluation of accessibility are explored and described here, worked in physical environments from an interdisciplinary perspective, these reveal the competences that the designer or builder must acquire during their professional training to have an holistic vision of the project, both the specific and diverse needs of the user, as well as the physical characteristics of the environment, but in addition to the building process, which is decisive for the achievement of a good result. The proposed method is descriptive-reflective, it is applied through the socio-spatial analysis of the diverse physical environments which allows us to visualize some problems that the designer and the builder face; and ends with a reflection on this issue.
