Summary
The course deals with the basic principles of barrier-free use of land and buildings in respect of road safety measures on roads and public spaces general principles for the design of buildings, roads and public spaces. Individual requirements are analyzed in detail from the point of view of barrier-free use for individual groups of people with health restrictions - for people with movement, visual and hearing impairment.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Students will acquire basic knowledge in designing and designing of land and road constructions with an emphasis on general and technical requirements, especially in relation to general technical requirements ensuring the barrier-free use of buildings.
