Universal Design is the design and composition of an environment so that it can be accessed, understood and used to the greatest extent possible by all people regardless of their age, size, ability or disability.
In 2013, the Centre for Excellence in Universal Design supported the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland (RIAI) to launch a Universal Design category as part of their annual architecture awards. The aim of the award is to promote excellence in Universal Design among the architectural profession in Ireland. As part of its support for the award, the CEUD invites an international architect to chair the jury for the award and to present a lecture related to Universal Design to RIAI members.
Dochitect was invited as the Jury Chair for the 2016 RIAI Universal Design Awards, and in addition presented a lecture on Universal Design for Healthcare.
