Freedom from barriers makes possible an independent and self-determined lifestyle, encouraging mobility and integration in the cohabitation of all groups of people, including different agegroups. Approximately 50 current projects are presented with the help of texts, photos, plans and diagrams. They communicate a modern language of form, helping to create and shape contemporary living spaces for people. A provocative plea for genuinely barrier-free building and an illustrated commentary on the DIN norms round off this standard work.
