SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DESIGNING ACCESSIBLE AND USABLE SPACES HAVING BUILT-IN FURNISHINGS IN A MULTI-UNIT ENVIRONMENT

摘要

Systems and methods for designing accessible and usable spaces having built-in elements in multi-unit environments are disclosed. In one embodiment of the system (10) for designing accessible spaces, the system (10) includes a library (14) storing multiple pre-designed universal built-in elements. Each of the pre-designed universal built-in elements includes structural data indicative of clear floor space compliance, reach range compliance, and operable parts compliance. Also, the structural data is indicative of anthropometric data compliance for non-physically challenged and physically challenged persons. A design engine (12) configured to communicate with a user interface provides for design choices by a user and the generation of plan drawings.
