FREEDOM BY DESIGN
Large numbers of people are literally prisoners in their own homes. They are unable to get into their showers, ascend steps, or even open doors. More importantly, many are unable to flee their homes in an emergency without assistance, due to the design of their homes.
Freedom by Design™, an AIAS community service program, utilizes the talents of architecture students to radically impact the lives of people in their community through design and construction solutions. Vital modifications are made to enhance the homes of low-income elderly and disabled individuals by addressing their struggles with everyday tasks such as bathing, ascending stairs and opening doors.
Through numerous AIAS chapters, Freedom by Design™ (FBD) teaches students how to resolve accessibility issues while simultaneously providing them with the real world experience of working with a client, mentorship from a local architect, and an understanding of the practical impact of architecture and design.
AIAS Chapters are encouraged to get involved. Complete information about this vital program is available on the Web site.
