Imagine and collaborate together
The environment must be universally accessible. Several weak signals show an evolution of the mentalities on the consideration of the handicap, valued in the media, in the sport, the culture. Society is now ready to become, step by step, universally accessible by changing the relationship with the other and the view of “normality”. The current standards represent demands and good practices to be followed. But, beyond the regulations, the experience of living in a specific territory remains an essential element to take into consideration.
And this is where we place the challenge of our group: to propose a multisensorial signage allowing people with disabilities to fully live their citizenship.
Inspire.
Co-create.
