Pioneering champion of disabled access dies

摘要

Architect Selwyn Goldsmith, author of the groundbreaking Designing for the Disabled (1963) has died, aged 78.rnAn early champion of disabled access and the designer of the ramped kerb, Goldsmith contracted polio shortly after qualifying, leaving him paralysed down one side. In 1967 he produced a second edition of his 'indispensible' guidelines, research which involved interviewing 284 wheelchair-users.
