The history, development and evolution of universal
design within the Product Design curriculum development
in the Design & Industry (DAI) department at San Francisco
State University (SFSU) has demonstrated the cross-disciplinary
applications, and exchanges of the various services and resources
at SFSU. This cooperative "universal" exchange has
complimented the consonant academic and applied community outreach
and service learning goals by such university sources as: the
Institute On Disabilities; The Disability Resource Center; the
Gerontology Program; The Rehabilitation Engineering Program;
the Whirlwind Wheelchair International; and the Design Center
for Global Needs. An integrated approach to universal design,
- a.k.a."Good Design," in our department, has promoted
an integrated academic environment. An interdisciplinary environment
that has combined the expertise and methodology of disability
advocates, and design professionals in the San Francisco Bay
Area, along with educators, and students at the university.
These mutual interests have promoted advancing the principles
and applications of universal design principles in the built
environment |
