1
00:00:12,108 --> 00:00:14,245
LiveTextAccess.

2
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:18,000
Training for real-time
intralingual subtitlers.

3
00:00:19,838 --> 00:00:23,588
This is Unit 1.
Understanding accessibility.

4
00:00:23,757 --> 00:00:26,704
Element 1.
Basic concepts.

5
00:00:30,847 --> 00:00:33,481
This video lecture
revolves around environments

6
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,900
and how they can be designed

7
00:00:36,592 --> 00:00:38,040
to be accessible for persons

8
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,166
with a diverse range of abilities
and capabilities.

9
00:00:41,769 --> 00:00:46,480
To this end, we will discuss the concepts
of accessibility, usability,

10
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,769
and Universal Design.

11
00:00:49,894 --> 00:00:52,435
This video lecture has 2 parts.

12
00:00:52,567 --> 00:00:57,071
This is part 1 and deals
with the concept of Universal Design.

13
00:00:57,468 --> 00:00:59,067
My name is Rocío Bernabé Caro

14
00:00:59,177 --> 00:01:02,979
from the Internationale Hochschule
SDI München, in Germany.

15
00:01:04,237 --> 00:01:08,425
I have prepared this video lecture
in collaboration with Piero Cavallo

16
00:01:08,513 --> 00:01:13,573
and the European Federation
of Hard-of-Hearing, in short EFHOH.

17
00:01:15,758 --> 00:01:20,080
On completion of part 1 and part 2
of this training sequence,

18
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,920
you will be able to explain the differences

19
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:28,364
between the concepts of usability,
accessibility and Universal Design.

20
00:01:29,533 --> 00:01:30,556
The agenda.

21
00:01:31,085 --> 00:01:35,378
First, we will discuss
what Universal Design means

22
00:01:35,863 --> 00:01:40,704
and will watch a video explaining
the 7 principles of Universal Design.

23
00:01:41,190 --> 00:01:44,937
We have embedded this video
in our video lecture

24
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,000
to provide accessibility
through subtitles.

25
00:01:49,614 --> 00:01:56,240
The authors of this video are
The Center for Independent Living,

26
00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:00,688
which has several
very interesting videos in the Internet.

27
00:02:01,857 --> 00:02:06,818
We have not modified the content,
which is accessible through YouTube.

28
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:12,282
You can find the original video
in the playlist of Unit 1.

29
00:02:14,069 --> 00:02:18,315
So, what do we mean
by Universal design?

30
00:02:19,352 --> 00:02:25,194
Universal Design is also known
as Inclusive Design or Design for all.

31
00:02:26,032 --> 00:02:31,996
Universal Design is a design philosophy
that aims to create products

32
00:02:32,106 --> 00:02:36,930
that are usable by
as many users as possible,

33
00:02:37,445 --> 00:02:41,285
which actually includes
persons with a disability.

34
00:02:43,183 --> 00:02:47,295
Ronald Mace inspired
this design philosophy.

35
00:02:47,515 --> 00:02:50,738
Ronald Mace was born
in the United States.

36
00:02:51,841 --> 00:02:57,473
And at the age of 9, he contracted polio,
which led him to use a wheelchair.

37
00:02:58,709 --> 00:03:01,510
Ronald Mace worked as an architect,

38
00:03:01,642 --> 00:03:05,231
product designer, educator,
and consultant.

39
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:11,646
Some years after he graduated
from North Carolina State University,

40
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,518
Mace focused on designing
accessible houses

41
00:03:15,672 --> 00:03:17,789
with a “universal design”.

42
00:03:18,451 --> 00:03:25,400
His design philosophy was to design things
that are visually pleasing

43
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,790
and more universally usable
by all people.

44
00:03:31,842 --> 00:03:36,080
Indeed, in his last speech
at the International Conference

45
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,746
in New York in 1998,

46
00:03:39,077 --> 00:03:43,967
he defined the expression
“Universal Design” more in detail

47
00:03:44,077 --> 00:03:47,048
and underpins 2 main aspects.

48
00:03:47,910 --> 00:03:53,459
Firstly, he said that there is
no such a thing as “universally usable”,

49
00:03:54,163 --> 00:03:56,191
at least to his knowledge,

50
00:03:56,482 --> 00:04:04,440
but he said that the use
of the term is relevant

51
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,731
because it reflects the goal well.

52
00:04:08,746 --> 00:04:14,002
Secondly, he mentions
that Universal Design is for all people,

53
00:04:14,135 --> 00:04:17,904
not only for disabled people
or people with a disability.

54
00:04:18,830 --> 00:04:23,360
Interestingly, he points out
that Universal Design assumes

55
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:28,877
that all people have or will have a disability
at a certain stage in their lives.

56
00:04:29,692 --> 00:04:34,546
Ronald Mace defined 7 principles
that aim at guiding the process

57
00:04:34,833 --> 00:04:39,340
of designing universally or,
in other words, for all.

58
00:04:40,707 --> 00:04:45,280
The principles apply not only
to physical environments, like buildings,

59
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,142
 but also to products,
communications, and services.

60
00:04:50,399 --> 00:04:53,840
As principles, they can be used
to guide a creation process

61
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,160
but also to evaluate existing designs,

62
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:03,270
and to raise awareness
amongst designers and consumers.

63
00:05:04,580 --> 00:05:08,726
The following video explains
these 7 principles.

64
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:13,277
At the end of the video,
you will have to answer a little question

65
00:05:13,917 --> 00:05:15,880
before completing the video lecture.

66
00:05:16,630 --> 00:05:17,747
Let's go for that.

67
00:05:27,763 --> 00:05:31,033
In 1997, a team of architects designers
and researchers

68
00:05:31,121 --> 00:05:34,360
at North Carolina State University
created a list of principles

69
00:05:34,453 --> 00:05:37,161
that would be used to define
universal design.

70
00:05:37,580 --> 00:05:42,360
Today we're visiting Berkeley California's
universally designed Ed Roberts Campus

71
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,680
to explain what the researchers called

72
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,487
The 7 Principles of Universal Design.

73
00:05:48,318 --> 00:05:49,558
This is Power On.

74
00:05:57,492 --> 00:05:59,779
Principle 1.
Equitable use.

75
00:06:00,550 --> 00:06:04,080
A building that is universally designed
is a building that's designed

76
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,000
for people with all kinds of abilities,

77
00:06:06,088 --> 00:06:09,079
that's the general idea
of a universally-designed building.

78
00:06:09,409 --> 00:06:10,760
Now, for a lot of people
who live in cities

79
00:06:10,840 --> 00:06:13,538
the only way to get around is
via public transportation.

80
00:06:13,802 --> 00:06:17,160
So we're going to jump on BART
which is the public transportation system

81
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,491
around the San Francisco Bay Area
and see where it takes us.

82
00:06:26,052 --> 00:06:29,600
So we've made it to the Ashby Station
and connected to the station

83
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,403
is the building that houses
the Ed Roberts Campus.

84
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,159
All we do is go in this elevator
we go up one story,

85
00:06:35,270 --> 00:06:37,262
and it opens right into the lobby.

86
00:06:40,791 --> 00:06:44,760
This is Ed Roberts Campus,
an 85,000 square foot building

87
00:06:44,840 --> 00:06:48,000
that houses disability-focused
organizations.

88
00:06:48,738 --> 00:06:53,053
Named after disability rights pioneer
and former executive director at the CIL,

89
00:06:53,141 --> 00:06:55,680
Ed Roberts campus has won
numerous awards

90
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,302
for its accessible design.

91
00:07:01,744 --> 00:07:04,120
Designers often tack on a ramp
as an afterthought,

92
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,800
but the team at LMS Architecture
started with accessibility

93
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,652
and turned the ramp
into the building's centerpiece.

94
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:24,880
On the wall behind the ramp,

95
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,520
a gallery of photos show
Berkeley's deep history

96
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,805
in the disability rights movement.

97
00:07:41,462 --> 00:07:45,080
The second principle of universal design
is flexibility in use,

98
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,858
meaning that a building
can be configured in various ways

99
00:07:49,057 --> 00:07:51,358
to accommodate a person's needs.

100
00:07:52,152 --> 00:07:54,920
In some of the offices,
you might find adjustable desks

101
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,577
which can be used at any height
depending on each person's preference.

102
00:08:01,953 --> 00:08:04,299
Principle 3.
Simple and intuitive use.

103
00:08:04,586 --> 00:08:07,645
This means that the design is
easy to understand for everybody.

104
00:08:07,931 --> 00:08:10,720
So, as soon as you walk in the door
it makes sense where to go,

105
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:15,626
whether to the front desk or elsewhere
via practical easy-to-understand signage.

106
00:08:19,906 --> 00:08:22,040
If you've ever used
an IKEA instruction manual,

107
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,761
it's a bit of an exercise
in universal design.

108
00:08:25,378 --> 00:08:28,433
Very easy to follow,
yet not a single written word.

109
00:08:32,912 --> 00:08:34,080
And speaking of signage,

110
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,760
the fourth principle is
Perceptible Information.

111
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:41,584
This means that the design can communicate
all of its necessary information to everybody.

112
00:08:42,088 --> 00:08:45,238
An example of that are the signs here
at the Ed Roberts Campus.

113
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:50,268
All the signs throughout the campus are both
in written word as well as Braille.

114
00:08:51,242 --> 00:08:54,586
The fountain at the end of the building
isn't just for decoration.

115
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,886
It also provides a reference point
for people with low vision

116
00:08:57,974 --> 00:08:59,533
when getting around the building.

117
00:09:02,453 --> 00:09:04,905
Principle 5 is tolerance for error.

118
00:09:05,656 --> 00:09:07,480
This principle refers to safety,

119
00:09:07,560 --> 00:09:11,393
stressing the importance
that the design minimizes hazards, accidents,

120
00:09:11,547 --> 00:09:12,977
or unintended actions.

121
00:09:13,772 --> 00:09:15,040
In the event of an emergency,

122
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,695
the ramp provides a safe exit
if the elevators aren't in use.

123
00:09:20,908 --> 00:09:23,163
Principle 6.
Low physical effort.

124
00:09:23,843 --> 00:09:27,733
This says that the design can be used
efficiently and comfortably

125
00:09:27,843 --> 00:09:29,137
and with minimum fatigue.

126
00:09:30,292 --> 00:09:34,040
A building that is universally designed
shouldn't be exhausting to get around

127
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:35,048
or to use.

128
00:09:35,820 --> 00:09:39,354
In architecture, that comes in the form
of automatic doors, elevators,

129
00:09:39,972 --> 00:09:41,141
and mostly flat surfaces.

130
00:09:42,619 --> 00:09:45,605
Principle 7. Size and space
for approach and use.

131
00:09:46,672 --> 00:09:49,520
This principle says
that the building shouldn't restrict anyone

132
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,238
by its size or space.

133
00:09:52,989 --> 00:09:54,760
So that, of course,
means wide doorways

134
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,243
and adequate space
for wheelchairs to navigate

135
00:09:57,736 --> 00:09:59,840
but it's also important
that nothing is out of reach

136
00:09:59,920 --> 00:10:01,800
for people who need access
to something.

137
00:10:02,749 --> 00:10:03,972
When we came up the elevators,

138
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,960
there were buttons
where you would normally find them,

139
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,331
but also buttons along the floor
if that's more accessible,

140
00:10:09,450 --> 00:10:12,000
and you can find this feature
all throughout the building.

141
00:10:19,792 --> 00:10:22,167
If you're interested in visiting
the Ed Roberts Campus,

142
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,640

The countdown starts now!

151
00:11:36,141 --> 00:11:37,798
So, how many did you get right?

152
00:11:39,673 --> 00:11:41,612
Yes, the principles are:

153
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,000
Principle 1: Equitable use.

154
00:11:44,193 --> 00:11:46,629
