“…A primeira delas, o Universal Design (UD), ou Desenho Universal (DU), visa servir, de modo esteticamente agradável, à maior variedade possível de usuários, sem o uso de adaptações ou desenhos especializados (MACE, 1988). No entanto, o fato de o DU ser ainda pouco estudado pela academia faz com que seja evitado por muitos profissionais, que o consideram excessivamente intuitivo e desprovido de embasamento teórico (IMRIE, 2012), optando assim pelo desenho acessível. Além disso, o conhecimento técnico necessário à implantação do DU é ainda insuficiente no Brasil, dificultando ainda mais sua adoção no país (MINISTÉRIO DAS CIDADES, 2005).…”

Primera versión recibida en: 13 de abril de 2013 Última versión recibida en: 03 de junio de 2014 ResumenEl presente artículo intenta comunicar los elementos centrales del proceso de gestión de un Protocolo de Accesibilidad Urbana y Edilicia, fundado en los principios del Diseño Universal en la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, Argentina. Se exponen los conceptos principales que conforman la estructura teórica en la que se cimienta, planteándose la necesidad de superar concepciones tradicionales que aún prevalecen en las políticas de accesibilidad de las universidades de la región, y que resultan insuficientes para orientar el diseño de intervenciones respetuosas de derechos fundamentales. De esta manera, se propone resignificar los conceptos de discapacidad y accesibilidad desde un enfoque de derechos. En tanto documento institucional, el Protocolo tiene por objetivo orientar el diseño y construcción del espacio urbano y edilicio de esta universidad, para que sea utilizable por todas las personas de manera autónoma, segura y sin restricciones. En ese sentido, se esbozan algunas condiciones institucionales indispensables para garantizar su efectiva implementación. Palabras clavesDiseño Universal; accesibilidad; protocolo de Accesibilidad Urbana y Edilicia. Abstract This article is aimed at expressing the main aspects of the process of administration of an Urban and Building Protocol of Accessibility based on the principles of Universal Design in the National University of Cordoba in Argentina.The main concepts that form the theoretical structure are outlined, posing the need to overcome traditional conceptions which still remain in the policies of accessibility in regional universities and which are insufficient to guide the design of a respectful intervention of fundamental rights. In this way, the concepts of disability and accessibility should be redefined from a perspective of rights. This institutional protocol has as its main objective the guidance of the design and construction of an urban and building space for this university so it can be useful for all the people in a safe, self-sufficient-unexclusive way. Thus, some essential institutional conditions are outlined to guarantee its effective implementation.

“…In the literature, intensive use of UD among other regarding concepts depends on its clear framework from theoretical and practical aspects. This precise and clear framework sometimes leads to a deterministic approach, which prevents it from advancing conceptually (Imrie, 2012). Its theoretical development could be advanced with the evidencebased approaches based on man and environment interaction in referring time, population, technological developments, ideological approaches, political environment, working environment, life culture and thereby, the change of lifestyles (Imrie, 2012: 873-874;Çakmak, 2006 …”

Cinema and architecture are universal with their inclusiveness in the mental process. The mental process is often generated by the sense of sight in modern times. In this sense, cinema, as a visual art, has started to take an active role in the intellectual, conceptual and creative actions of modern man. With the cinema, the realities of the virtual world have become more convincing than the dreams of the real world. It involves person-environment relationships which might not be ours but "look like ours". Universal Design (UD) also puts forward a proactive interaction in-between man and environment. UD is based on equitable, flexible, intuitive, perceptible, tolerant-to-error access with appropriate size and space. While its conceptual basis with its guidelines are commonly constructed on the spatial needs of people with disabilities, it highlights disability does not focus on only permanent, visible, bodily or intellectual (dis)abilities. Every kind of "otherization" creates disability in society. This study aims to investigate how the relationship between architecture and disability in cinema is portrayed by reading through films that are masterpieces covering experiences of different disability groups. Using Visual Analysis method in the study, the codes and categories generated based on the UD Principles are associated with selected visual images and dialogues according to the frames of meaning of the scenes in the films. In this way, this study aims to question the

Universalism, universal design and equitable access to the built environment

Abstract: UD provides a useful, yet partial, understanding of the interrelationships between disability and design that may limit how far inequalities of access to the built environment can be overcome.
