This will be identified at the Conceptual Stage, and later materialized through the Schematic and Design Development stage.
You will be required to produce an infographic explaining your effort.
We understand this is new, so chill. We will help you through this. Please refer to the Key Area #2.

UNIVERSAL DESIGN

As part of our effort to make our architecture accessible for all especially people with different abilities, it is important that we understand the core principles of Universal Design.
This will be identified at the Schematic Stage when planning the layout of your interior spaces (and some exterior), and later be detailed out at Design development stage.
You will be required to produce specific diagrams to portray your Universal Design scheme.
