Important terms

Heterotopias

[1] Foucault constitutes all communities places and communities that form opposites to the places and communities that are common and common. These other places can locates spatially, but is nevertheless in a sense outside, he calls such places "Heterotopia" (Foucault, 1986 and Chapter 1).

[2] Heterotopia is a concept elaborated by philosopher Michel Foucault to describe certain cultural, institutional and discursive spaces that are somehow ‘other’: disturbing, intense, incompatible, contradictory or transforming. Heterotopias are worlds within worlds, mirroring and yet upsetting what is outside. Foucault provides examples: ships, cemeteries, brothels, prisons, gardens of antiquity, fairs, Turkish baths and many more. Foucault outlines the notion of heterotopia on three occasions between 1966-67. A talk given to a group of architects is the most well-known explanation of the term. = Tekst: Other places.

[3] The first principle - the heterotopias obviously take quite varied forms, and perhaps no one absolutely universal form of heterotopia would be found.

The second principle - heterotopias is that a society, as its history unfolds, can make an existing heterotopia function in a very different fashion

Handicapped.

Third principle - The heterotopia is capable of juxtaposing in a single real place several spaces, several sites that are in themselves incompatible.

Fourth principle. Heterotopias are most often linked to slices in time — which is to say that they open onto what might be termed, for the sake of symmetry, heterochronies.

Fifth principle - Heterotopias always presuppose a system of opening and closing that both isolates them and makes them penetrable.

Sixth principle - Heterotopias is that they have a function in relation to all the space that remains.

Universal design

[6] Universal Design is the design and composition of an environment so that it can be accessed, understood and used to the greatest extent possible by all people regardless of their age, size, ability or disability. An environment (or any building, product, or service in that environment) should be designed to meet the needs of all people who wish to use it. This is not a special requirement, for the benefit of only a minority of the population. It is a fundamental condition of good design. If an environment is accessible, usable, convenient and a pleasure to use, everyone benefits. By considering the diverse needs and abilities of all throughout the design process, universal design creates products, services and environments that meet peoples' needs. Simply put, universal design is good design.
