Objectives

ARCHITECTURE AND ACCESSIBILITY COURSE AIMS
The course aims to make the student acquire the ability to understand and sustain the critically constructed space, relating it to the issue of accessibility in a general theoretical and cultural perspective, referring to the subject proposed for the specific course. At the same time, the lessons will suggest a post-critical path to the answers that architecture is called to give in favor of the expanded and non-standardized users, from a global (de-regulated and unstable) and local (backward and conservative) context. ). We therefore aim at the awareness of a representation that can show how the knowledge of universality is today decisive in "keeping the direction" of the creative, representative, popular and cognitive process of architectural thought in the presence of disability.

ELECTRONIC AND INFORMATIC BIOENIERY COURSE AIMS
The aim of the course is to allow the student to acquire the fundamental knowledge related to the main theoretical and applicative aspects of Bioengineering. In particular: as a basic objective, it must include the basic notions concerning measurement, the nature of a biomedical signal, the properties of a signal, the acquisition and analysis of biomedical signals, the differences between analog and digital signal; as an advanced goal, it will have to understand the problems of A/D conversion and the main properties of the signal in the time and frequency domain. The student, after understanding the principles, will be able to apply them on examples and understand the effect. The student will be able to understand what happens in reality with independent judgment

AIDS FOR INDEPENDENCE COURSE AIMS
The general aim of the course is to provide theoretical and practical knowledge of occupational therapy in the choice of aids. The aim is to provide a basic knowledge of technologies and aids for rehabilitation, indipendence, school, work and social integration of people with disabilities in relation to the role of the OT in the prescribing process. At the end of the course, the student will achieve the following specific objectives:
- Knowledge of aids and technologies present in the rehabilitation landscape and classifications
- Knowledge of the prescription path, of the reference legislation
- Acquisition of knowledge and skills needed to evaluate aisd and/or technologies
- Develop knowledge and skills about the personalization of aids and/or technologies

Contents

The integrated course UNIVERSAL ACCESSIBILITY IN OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY foresees three complementary teachings through which it is attempted to transmit to the students the competences and technical acquaintances proper of the Architecture and the Bioengineering applied to the wide panorama of the technical aids and/or environmental adaptations in which the OT is called to operate in order to guarantee the maximum possible autonomy to all those who use it. the teachings provide knowledge of the basic computer and electrical fundamentals of multimedia and electronic devices necessary for occupational performance. Principles of design and construction for environmental adaptations and the removal of architectural barriers in the built space. The integrated course focuses on merging technical-scientific skills with professionalism and needs assessment skills of the TO, revealing itself in the definition of an aid that allows maximum autonomy in the performance of life; inducing professionals to collaborate in the community interest.

Extended Syllabus

PROGRAMME ARCHITECTURE AND ACCESSIBILITY COURSE

• THE THEME OF DISABILITY: THE CULTURAL DIMENSION
• SOCIAL ASPECTS
• NUMBERS AND STATISTICS
The existential problem of man who, in his condition of finitude, asks
himself about the meaning of illness and evil.
• OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY
• ARCHITECTURE
• ETYMOLOGY
• DEFINITIONS
• ACCESSIBILITY
• EXPANDED USER CONCEPT
• DESIGN FOR THE STANDARD
• DESIGN FOR DISABILITY
• DESIGN FOR EXPANDED UTILITY
• PRINCIPLES OF THE EXPLOITED USE PROJECT
Term that refers to the way people "occupy" their time, ie actions, and
activities that give meaning to people's lives.
Architecture is the art of arranging and adorning buildings, raised by man
for whatever purpose, so that their simple sight can contribute to health,
strength, and enjoyment of the spirit. - John Ruskin, 1854
DESIGN PRINCIPLES FOR EXPANDED EXPERTISE SUMMARY
• THE STANDARD FOR THE SUPERVISION OF BARRIERS
ARCHITECTURAL
• SYNTHETIC PICTURE
Designing for Extended Users means creating spaces, products and
services that can be used by as many people as possible, so as to be
compatible with the many different abilities that human beings can
present in the course of their existence.
ACCESSIBILITY IN BUILDINGS
• ACCESSIBILITY
• VISITABILITY
• ADAPTABILITY
• THE DIFFERENT PHASES OF DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROJECT
• ACCESSIBILITY TO THE DIFFERENT SCALE OF THE PROJECT
• THE CHOICE OF PRODUCTS AND MATERIALS
• TIME DURATION
• INTENDED USE: PUBLIC AND PRIVATE
• PUBLIC BUILDINGS
• PRIVATE BUILDINGS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
• PRIVATE BUILDINGS
ACCESSIBILITY is the possibility, even for people with reduced or impeded
motor or sensory ability, to reach the building and its individual real
estate and environmental units, to easily enter and use spaces and
equipment in conditions of adequate security and autonomy "
• ADJUSTMENT OF THE ACCOMMODATION
The emergence of a disability involves a change in the physical
performance of the person who inevitably gain some difficulties in the
use of the built space.
• A HOME WITH ACCESSIBLE DESIGN
• MORNING, BEDROOM
• IN THE BATHROOM
• IN THE KITCHEN
• IN THE STAY-STUDIO
• GO OUT
If a pair of glasses can receive the design attention of a famous designer
because they can not also receive the other aids that in addition to a
series of important technical requirements require and deserve good
design and a current image.
• ACCESSIBLE SOLUTIONS
• PARKING ROUTES OF RACCDRDO
• INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL FLOORING
• DOORS
• WINDOWS
• THE HYGIENIC LOCAL: WC
• THE HYGIENIC LOCAL: LAVABO
• THE FITTING SLIDE
• RAMP
• THE LIFT
• THE SERVOSCALA
What does inaccessibility mean? Inaccessibility can mean many things. It
can mean not being able to enter a room and, consequently, not being
able to socialize with the people who are inside. It may mean not
accessing a service, for example, not being able to send
a registered letter, not being able to attend that lecture at the University.
It can mean not being able to integrate, not having the opportunity to be
active and to participate. In short: it can mean being cut off from the
game of life.
