The Schindler Award for Architecture "Access for All" is a competition aimed at architecture students across Europe. It sets participants the task of making a building or other installation accessible to everyone, regardless of their individual capabilities.
In doing so, it draws attention to the fact that people with physical disabilities suffer additional handicaps through unnecessary barriers around and within buildings. By making "Access for All" the primary task of the competition, Schindler is encouraging future architects to create a better-designed world in which well-considered architectural design and intelligent elevator technology overcome the remaining barriers. The competition has been held every two years since 2003, the European Year of People with Disabilities. |
