CCT384H5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Berlin Wall, Decision Points, Age Appropriateness
Document Summary
Everyday life constantly experiencing barriers that we don"t even notice: age age appropriateness, disruption in the path of travel, legal drinking age, elevators provided in subway stations, so barrier removed. Indirect paths of travel: cultural markers that takes longer. Stigmatized, marginalized, and inconvenienced by it: how do we deal with buildings that are landmarks and cant change the fa ade but still provide accommodation for people with disabilities. Intellectual life : the arts, tilted arch art piece. People in the office buildings disliked it because it created a barrier between themselves and the plaza, where they liked to go on lunch breaks, etc. It allowed for people to be behind the wall, hiding and ready to mug you. Removed because of the public"s outrage: social order, barriers based on ability. Architecture: physical barriers, panopticon: the prisoners believe themselves because they never know when the guards are looking at them.
