Fair Housing Means Universal Design I, with an emphasis on bathrooms This 26 minute videotape is intended to improve awareness of the Fair Housing Accessibility Guidelines contained in the 1988 Amendments to the Civil Rights Act of 1968. It is directed to all building and construction professionals (e.g. architects, interior designers, engineers, developers, contractors) and virtually anyone concerned with housing design. The program illustrates the value of the Guidelines, how small adjustments in design go a long way toward enhancing independence and how universal design helps make finished housing desirable to a wide audience. Included with the video is a presentation guide that summarizes the major points in the video and expands upon several technical details. The guide also suggests questions in order to help presenters lead a discussion about the issues of fair housing and universal design.
This 22 minute videotape is intended to improve awareness of the Fair Housing Accessibility Guidelines contained in the 1988 Amendments to the Civil Rights Act of 1968. It is directed to all building and construction professionals (e.g. architects, interior designers, engineers, developers, contractors) and virtually anyone concerned with housing design. The program illustrates the value of the Guidelines, how small adjustments in design go a long way toward enhancing independence and how universal design helps make finished housing desirable to a wide audience. Included with the video is a presentation guide that summarizes the major points in the video and expands upon several technical details. The guide also suggests questions in order to help presenters lead a discussion about the issues of fair housing and universal design. This 15 minute VHS videotape was produced to demonstrate how the theme of universal design can be used as a general vehicle for teaching a studio design course in architecture or related disciplines. It documents a one semester studio curriculum that was initiated in the Department of Architecture, SUNY, Buffalo in Fall of 1993 with a class of over 40 undergraduate architecture students. The goals, activities and impact of the program are presented. Several design projects, including buildings and products are illustrated and discussed by the participating faculty. This videotape is a valuable introduction to universal design for both faculty and design students. The curriculum was supported in part by a grant from Adaptive Environment's Universal Design Education Project. An article describing this curriculum development program was published in Strategies for Teaching Universal Design, Polly Welch (ed.), Adaptive Environments, Boston.

TECHNICAL AND RESEARCH REPORTS Accessible Elementary Schools: This booklet was developed through a research and development project in the late 1970’s. It provides guidance on how to make existing school buildings accessible using examples from real buildings. Methods for Teaching Barrier Free Design: This booklet was developed in 1990 to describe educational activities at the University at Buffalo’s Department of Architecture led by Edward Steinfeld that explored different approaches to teaching accessible designs. Hands-on Architecture: This research report describes a study completed at the IDeA Center that developed a knowledge base on design for accommodating arm and grip limitations.
