Resumen
This thesis has as theme Universal Design and the application of this concept,
together with accessibility, in social housing. The objective is to investigate the difficulty
of implementing the concepts of Universal Design in architectural projects of housing
projects. The research, initially, presents the theme Universal Design, the antecedents
that led to the origin of this concept, its basic principles and the challenges that involve
its adoption in the built environment and the inconsistency of technical standards
regarding accessibility. It also points out strategies to obtain accessibility and
application of Universal Design that are used in projects intended for a large number
of users, such as housing projects. Finally, a critical analysis of a housing project of
social interest is made, in order to verify the mechanisms used to guarantee
accessibility and that could also fit the concept of Universal Design. It was concluded
that in certain sectors of the project the principles of Universal Design were achieved,
but much remains to be invested in projects to serve all their users.
