This document discusses the history and principles of Design for All. It began in 1987 with the goal of enhancing quality of life for disabled people. Several institutions were founded throughout the 1980s-2000s to promote Design for All including the IDD in Dublin and EIDD in Europe. Design for All aims to promote social inclusion and improve quality of life through universal design of products, services and environments. It requires involving end users throughout the design process. The document outlines several approaches including inclusive design, universal design and accessibility. It discusses how populations are aging and more diverse, requiring designs that can be used by people of all abilities. Design for All benefits include innovation, increased functionality and market size, and creating socially responsible businesses. Examples of

7. Universal design and
Inclusive Design
• Universal Design means the design of
products and environments usable
by all, as much as possible without
adjustments or special solutions. It's
spread in the United States, it tends to
aim to the final product, using rules of
easy application. It may have shortterm benefits, but fails to create the
awareness of social inclusion in
decision-makers and planners.
• Inclusive Design is much common in
the United Kingdom and it’s very close
to the concept of Design for All. All the
environmental, engineering,
architecture, products projects and
processes must meet as much as
possible the diversity of human needs.

12. Design for All e
la popolazione
• We can survive to diseases and
injury and live with disabilities like
never before.
• The elderly population is steadily
increasing and proportional to the
new perspectives of life
(+100,000,000 in EU)
• La quarta età è ormai conclamata
e facilmente raggiungibile
• The increasing age implies a
decline in capacity, improved
health, more leisure time, less
tolerance to products hard to use
or which require special skills
• The target is increasing
