![]() Fleck shows how this has moved from a design approach that specifically focused on elements of separation and ‘special needs’ to a more cohesive inclusive design approach – instigated by disabled peoples themselves through the social model of disability, changes in legislation and challenges to design. The book begins with the overview of how far inclusive design has permeated the mainstream of built environment design. Fleck also presents the history of inclusive design from a legislative and technical perspective and presents the myriad of legislation and design guidance in a clear and coherent way. Fleck’s book is an excellent overview of the key issues in inclusive design that includes a number of case studies of excellence in practice as well as examples of the continuing failures we observe in our built environment. This attention to detail is also reflected in the contexts delivered within the text. The first thing that stands out about Julie Fleck’s book ‘Are you an inclusive designer?’ is that it is itself inclusive with a large typeface (13 point) and printed on uncoated paper to improve legibility. ![]()
