Designing for Accessibility

The design for accessiblity has been an issue in design determining factors of an architectural design.This short dissertation tries to touch the realities of cases in Addis Ababa experianced by persons with disabilities and tries to formulate a better solution for the challenges faced by this marginalized group of people when it comes to public buildings. the building law intervention by the federal governement in recent years,i believe, will alleviate such issues in the future along with a dedicated architectural practice.
