Chistophersen, J. (Ed), (2004), "Universal design -- with contribution from Asia, Australia, North America and Europe", The Norwegian State Housing Bank.
Abstract:
"The book presents articles written by some of the world's leading practitioners in the field. The intention is to give both an overview and some insight into the content of current Universal Design teaching across the globe.

The content includes

¡¤ theoretical subjects

¡¤ teaching methods

¡¤ evaluation and auditing

¡¤ ways of integrating Universal Design into the curriculum

¡¤ student projects

¡¤ competitions

Thus, the articles cover both some of the challenges facing Universal Design educators and ways and means of overcoming them. Some authors have chosen to present highly personal accounts. Others approach the subjects from a more academic viewpoint, whilst some have concentrated on the actual content of the courses. Consequently, there is a considerable variety in form and content of the articles.
