Gebraucht - Gut 227 p. About this Book: Inclusive design, universal design and universal access are long standing, familiar terms with clear and laudable goals. However, their teaching and industrial uptake has been very limited. Many products still exclude users unnecessarily for reasons ranging from corporate insensitivity and the size of the market for inclusive products to the individual designers inability to design them. This pragmatic approach to making inclusive design desirable to industry addresses these issues and discusses why existing methods have failed to be assimilated into industry. Featuring: - The concept of design exclusion - Definition and specification of target populations - The prevalence of impairments in a population - Quantifying the number of people excluded - Proposals for new design approaches, tools and techniques - Assessment of a designs inclusivity - An introduction to current legislation - Making inclusive design desirable to industry Through the use of case studies and examples, Countering Design Exclusion introduces the mind-set necessary to think through the challenges raised by inclusive design and to adapt their solutions to the needs of particular companies.

Written for Practitioners and researchers in engineering design, advanced undergraduate and early graduate students in design, libraries, policy makers in areas involving accessibility, employers having to implement policies involving accessibility.…
