Universal design in vienna

Between 08.07- 22.07.2006, I attended a BEST (Board of European Students of Technology) summer course held in Vienna Technical University themed as "Architecture For All- Universal Design". The course aimed to orient and experimentate urban life through the eyes of handicapped people. Besides the very amusing spirit of Best courses and lectures from professors of Vienna Technical University, we used wheelchairs throughout the city, trying to get on the train, going to Museum Quartier, and so on.
