Architectural interaction refers to the way in which people interact with the built environment around them, including buildings, streets, and public spaces. The way in which people interact with these spaces can have a significant impact on their perception of accessibility.
Inaccessible architecture, such as buildings without ramps or public spaces without accessible paths, can make it difficult or even impossible for people with disabilities to navigate. This can lead to frustration and a sense of exclusion, as those with disabilities are unable to fully participate in the activities and events that take place in these spaces.
On the other hand, accessible architecture that is designed with the needs of all people in mind can make a space more inclusive and welcoming. When people with disabilities are able to navigate and interact with public spaces and buildings without obstacles or barriers, they are able to fully participate in society and feel a sense of belonging and empowerment.
Overall, architectural interaction has a direct impact on the perception of accessibility, as it determines the extent to which people with disabilities are able to access and participate in the built environment around them. By designing spaces that are accessible and inclusive, architects can help create a more welcoming and equitable society for people of all abilities.
