Accessibility design in built heritage environments are one of the most complicated subjects for architects and heritage practitioners. Technically, traditional accessibility design provides the opportunity for people with disabilities to visit heritage sites and ensure their safety. However, in practical cases, it seems that accessible designs are still unable to solve the demands of people with disabilities; on the contrary, such interventions increased the distance of people with disabilities from the public society. Different from accessibility design that focuses on specificity and universal design that focuses on comprehensiveness, inclusive design increases the possibility of interaction between people and the environment from the perspective of narrowing exclusion and expanding the understanding of diverse requirements. This design philosophy is widely valued and applied in industrial design and Internet design, yet it is still to be promoted in the field of architectural design, especially in the design of built heritage environmental interventions. Therefore, by answering the questions of why inclusive heritage research should be conducted, what is inclusive heritage, how to conduct inclusive heritage design, and relevant case studies of inclusive heritage design, this paper initially explores how architects and heritage practitioners can understand inclusiveness from a sensory point of view and how to progressively engage the historic built environment to become more inclusive, so that more people can participate in it and develop a sense of well-being and belonging.
La progettazione dell'accessibilità negli ambienti del patrimonio costruito è uno degli argomenti più complicati per gli architetti e i professionisti del patrimonio. Tecnicamente, la progettazione tradizionale dell'accessibilità fornisce l'opportunità alle persone con disabilità di visitare i siti del patrimonio e garantisce la loro sicurezza. Tuttavia, nei casi pratici, sembra che i progetti accessibili non siano ancora in grado di risolvere le richieste delle persone con disabilità; al contrario, tali interventi hanno aumentato la distanza delle persone con disabilità dalla società pubblica. A differenza del design dell'accessibilità che si concentra sulla specificità e del design universale che si concentra sulla completezza, il design inclusivo aumenta la possibilità di interazione tra le persone e l'ambiente dalla prospettiva di restringere l'esclusione ed espandere la comprensione delle diverse esigenze. Questa filosofia progettuale è ampiamente apprezzata e applicata nel design industriale e nell'Internet design, ma è ancora da promuovere nel campo della progettazione architettonica, specialmente nella progettazione di interventi ambientali sul patrimonio costruito. Pertanto, rispondendo alle domande sul perché la ricerca sul patrimonio inclusivo dovrebbe essere condotta, su cos'è il patrimonio inclusivo, su come condurre una progettazione inclusiva del patrimonio e su casi di studio rilevanti di progettazione inclusiva del patrimonio, questo articolo esplora inizialmente come gli architetti e i professionisti del patrimonio possano comprendere l'inclusività da un punto di vista sensoriale e come impegnare progressivamente l'ambiente storico costruito per diventare più inclusivo, in modo che più persone possano parteciparvi e sviluppare un senso di benessere e appartenenza.

Abstract
Accessibility design in built heritage environments are one of the most complicated subjects for architects and heritage practitioners. Technically, traditional accessibility design provides the opportunity for people with disabilities to visit heritage sites and ensure their safety. However, in practical cases, it seems that accessible designs are still unable to solve the demands of people with disabilities; on the contrary, such interventions increased the distance of people with disabilities from the public society. Different from accessibility design that focuses on specificity and universal design that focuses on comprehensiveness, inclusive design increases the possibility of interaction between people and the environment from the perspective of narrowing exclusion and expanding the understanding of diverse requirements. This design philosophy is widely valued and applied in industrial design and Internet design, yet it is still to be promoted in the field of architectural design, especially in the design of built heritage environmental interventions. Therefore, by answering the questions of why inclusive heritage research should be conducted, what is inclusive heritage, how to conduct inclusive heritage design, and relevant case studies of inclusive heritage design, this paper initially explores how architects and heritage practitioners can understand inclusiveness from a sensory point of view and how to progressively engage the historic built environment to become more inclusive, so that more people can participate in it and develop a sense of well-being and belonging.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
