Universal Design: Future-Proofing Our Built Environment for Technology and Accessibility
Universal design principles are essential for creating built environments that are not only accessible today but also adaptable to the technologies of tomorrow. Simple changes, like replacing toggle switches with paddle switches, exemplify how thoughtful design can improve user experience and prepare spaces for future innovations. By embracing these principles, we can create living and working environments that enhance independence, accommodate diverse needs, and seamlessly integrate with emerging technologies.
