Progettare
per l’Utenza Ampliata significa creare spazi, prodotti e servizi
che possono essere utilizzati dal maggior numero possibile
di persone, tali da essere compatibili con le molte, diverse
abilità che l’essere umano può presentare nel corso dell’esistenza.
Principi
di progettazione per l’Utenza Ampliata
Al
fine di operare in modo rigoroso e corretto è necessario verificare
che le soluzioni proposte rispondano, a livello generale e
di dettaglio, ai principi di seguito elencati:
PRINCIPIO
1: Autonomia di utilizzo
La soluzione massimizza la possibilità di utilizzo autonomo.
PRINCIPIO
2: Compatibilità
La soluzione è compatibile (a livello dimensionale, sensoriale,
cognitivo e culturale) con le caratteristiche dell'utente.
PRINCIPIO
3: Adattabilità e flessibilità
La soluzione è adattabile alle caratteristiche dell'utente
in relazione alle necessità che si presentano nel corso dell'esistenza.
PRINCIPIO
4: Normalità di immagine
La soluzione è funzionale e non connotata da un'immagine stigmatizzante.
PRINCIPIO
5: Semplicità di utilizzo
La soluzione è semplice (concettualmente, nell'uso e nella
percezione)
PRINCIPIO
6: Buon rapporto qualità/prezzo
La soluzione dimostra che le migliori scelte estetico-funzionali
non necessariamente risultano essere le più costose.
PRINCIPIO
7: Sicurezza e affidabilità
La soluzione assicura durabilità e sicurezza di funzionamento.

BASIC
PRINCIPLES
FOR UNIVERSAL DESIGN
The
aim of the exhibition is to draw designers' and companies'
attention to the themes of Inclusive Design associated specifically
to everyday objects.
By
means of the revision of a coffee pot in an ironic, provocative
and, at times, paradoxical key, the principles of Inclusive
Design used both nationally (progetto per l'Utenza Ampliata)
and in America (Universal Design) are illustrated.
“Universal
design is the design of products and environments to be usable
by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the
need for adaptation or specialized design.”
Ron
Mace
The
intent of universal design is to simplify life for everyone
by making products, communications, and the built environment
more usable by as many people as possible at little or no
extra cost. Universal design benefits people of all ages and
abilities.
Principles
of Universal Design
The
Principles of Universal Design address only universally usable
design, while the practice of design involves more than consideration
for usability. Designers must also incorporate other considerations
such as economic, engineering, cultural, gender, and environmental
concerns in their design processes. These Principles offer
designers guidance to better integrate features that meet
the needs of as many users as possible.
PRINCIPLE
ONE: Equitable Use
The
design is useful and marketable to people with diverse abilities.
PRINCIPLE
TWO: Flexibility in Use
The
design accommodates a wide range of individual preferences
and abilities.
PRINCIPLE
THREE: Simple and Intuitive Use
Use
of the design is easy to understand, regardless of the user's
experience, knowledge, language skills, or current concentration
level.
PRINCIPLE
FOUR: Perceptible Information
The
design communicates necessary information effectively to the
user, regardless of ambient conditions or the user's sensory
abilities.
PRINCIPLE
FIVE: Tolerance for Error
The
design minimizes hazards and the adverse consequences of accidental
or unintended actions.
PRINCIPLE
SIX: Low Physical Effort
The
design can be used efficiently and comfortably and with a
minimum of fatigue.
PRINCIPLE
SEVEN: Size and Space for Approach and Use
Appropriate
size and space is provided for approach, reach, manipulation,
and use regardless of user's body size, posture, or mobility.
