Universal design, buildings and architects:

-820 mm above floor level (bowl rim) 950 mm is more suitable (wash basin)

-design standard for a unisex toilet came with a 1500 x 2000mm plan layout

-less than 900 mm and not more than 1200 mm above floor level, this is not convenient for standing adult people, particularly those with sight impairments.

-passageways should have an unobstructed width of 1200 mm and internal doors a clear opening width of 750 mm; this is satisfied by 900 mm standard doorsets which give an opening width of 775 mm. This suits single-pushchair users as well as independent wheelchair users, but discriminates against wheelchair users who are pushed by a companion, electric scooter users and double-pushchair users.

-A 1:15 ramp is manageable for wheelchair users who are being pushed and most of those who move about independently, and at the same time is not so steep as to be inconvenient for ambulant disabled people.

-A 1:12 ramp is less satisfactory, though not markedly so when its length is less than about 3 m. It is ramps steeper than 1:12 which can be awkward for ambulant disabled people; where they are put in place for the benefit of wheelchair users, adjoining steps ought also to be available.

-passenger lift should have landing and car controls that are not less than 900 and not more than 1200 mm above floor level

-Part M approved document does not advise that where in a lift there are controls at between 900 and 1200 mm to suit independent wheelchair users there ought also to be others at say between 1400 and 1700 mm above floor level to suit standing adult people

Building users: mobility equipment:

-The height of the centre of the seat is typically at about 470 mm above floor level, but most wheelchair users place a cushion on the seat, and the seat height indicated is 490 mm (Self-propelled wheelchairs)

-The wheelchair has fixed armrests, fixed footrests, pneumatic rear wheels diameter 310 mm and solid front castor wheels diameter 205 mm (Attendant-pushed wheelchairs)

-The reclining wheelchair has elevated legrests and a fully reclining back. As depicted its length is about 1300 mm, but this may be around 1750 mm where the backrest has been lowered and the legrests raised to the horizontal in order to accommodate a recumbent person. (Attendant-pushed wheelchairs)

-A small powered chair may have length and width dimensions of the order of 890 x 630 mm, a large one 1170 x 680 mm.

Wala pani mahuman bai, gatiwas pako gama atm, na-save lang nako apil…. Tan-awa lang ja og sakto naba tong na research nako sa Filipino architecture kay shallow raman gud ang description ana then na trap rata sa concept sa bahay kubo…maong ako gi-apil ang concept ni Arch. Royal Pineda about sa Modern Filipino Architecture….which is authenticity, freedom and bases from our movements, cultures, what we are as a filipino. Then naa pod metric handbook nga pdf ana ako gi-apil kay gamit pod kayoo na pareha aning universal design.
