The course involves learning the methods of analyzing problems related to the physical, sensorial and cognitive accessibility of a protected public historical asset. The teaching allows the acquisition of transversal skills on advanced social competence through activities that involve associations linked to the theme of accessible valorisation of cultural heritage. TEACHING METHODS The teaching is divided into lectures and exercises based on real case studies linked to experiments on the implementation of accessibility of historical spaces with regard to physical, sensorial and cognitive disabilities, as well as individual differences sensitive to spatial configuration. Particular attention is paid to the protection of historical and architectural assets. SYLLABUS/CONTENT List of main topics: -Definitions of disability, accessibility and inclusion, for the purposes of intervention on the spatial context. -Regulations on the accessibility of spaces. -Communication and enhancement of the spatial configuration through visual representation, even simplified, and consideration of substitute senses for sensorial and cognitive accessibility. -Critical examination of a selection of examples only designed or also built, to identify good practices to be applied in the configuration of accessible spaces respectful of the protection of the architectural and historical heritage. -Application on real case studies of the critical analysis methodology learned regarding the problems of accessibility of protected public spaces.
