1.

Accessible design: Designing buildings, spaces, and products that can be used by everyone, regardless
of their abilities or disabilities. This includes features such as wheelchair ramps, Braille signage, and
audio descriptions.

2. Universal design: A design approach that considers the needs of all users, including those with
disabilities, from the initial stages of planning and design. The goal is to create products and
environments that are usable by everyone, without the need for special adaptations.

3. Inclusive design: An approach to design that actively seeks to include and accommodate the needs of
diverse users, including those with disabilities. It goes beyond universal design by considering the unique
needs and experiences of different individuals and groups.

4. Barrier-free design: Designing buildings, spaces, and products that do not pose physical or attitudinal
barriers to people with disabilities. This includes removing architectural barriers, such as stairs or steep
slopes, and promoting a culture of inclusivity and respect for diversity.

5. Assistive technology: Devices or tools that help people with disabilities perform specific tasks or
functions more easily. Examples include screen readers for visually impaired individuals, voice
recognition software for individuals with mobility impairments, and communication devices for
individuals with speech difficulties.

6. Adaptive design: Designing products and environments that can be adapted to meet the changing
needs of individuals over time. For example, a building might be designed with flexible layouts and
accessible features that can be modified as needed to accommodate changes in user needs.

7. Sensory integration: The process of using multiple senses (such as sight, sound, touch, taste, and
smell) to understand and interact with the environment. This term is often used in reference to designing
environments that are more accessible and comfortable for individuals with sensory processing
challenges.

8. Cognitive accessibility: Designing products and environments that take into account the cognitive
abilities and limitations of users, including those with learning disabilities, memory problems, or other
cognitive challenges. This might involve using simple language, clear instructions, and intuitive controls.

9. Social inclusion: Promoting social interaction and community engagement among individuals with
disabilities, as well as between individuals with disabilities and those without disabilities. This can
involve designing spaces and products that facilitate social connection and collaboration, as well as
promoting cultural awareness and understanding.

10. Disability rights movement: A social and political movement advocating for the rights and dignity of
people with disabilities, including equal access to education, employment, healthcare, and other
opportunities. The disability rights movement has played an important role in shaping attitudes towards
disability and driving change in society.

Of course! Here are three possible local reviews of related literature on inclusivity in architecture and
design:

1. "Review of Local Literature on Inclusive Housing": This review could focus on recent research and
publications related to inclusive housing in your local area. It could examine factors such as the
availability of affordable and accessible housing options, the impact of gentrification on inclusive
housing, and the role of community organizations in promoting inclusive housing policies.

2. "Inclusive Design in the City: A Review of Recent Research": This review could explore recent research
and developments in the field of inclusive design in urban settings. It could cover topics such as the use
of universal design principles in city planning, the impact of transportation infrastructure on inclusive
mobility, and the role of public art in promoting cultural diversity and inclusiveness.

3. "Accessible Public Spaces: A Review of Local Case Studies": This review could examine case studies of
accessible public spaces in your local area, including parks, plazas, and other outdoor recreational areas.
It could discuss factors such as the importance of wayfinding and signage, the use of adaptive
technologies in public spaces, and the impact of community engagement on the design of accessible
public spaces.
