In it, showed the difficulties in accessibility that are every day people with disabilities to carry out their daily activities by the absence of architectural and urban planning and execution errors in the works.
To this end, we developed a practical activity in which course participants to see first hand the problems in the accessibility of the environment using wheelchairs to navigate the Wall Campus, home where he is teaching the course and its surroundings.
These were able to confirm the difficulties faced by people with disabilities, even in the same university, with access problems, for example, study hall, cafeteria, and even the toilets reserved for disabled people.
The talk ended with an explanation outlining the exhibition, a series of shots that allowed course participants to note the architectural and urban problems that are seen regularly in our cities and buildings, to raise awareness of the need design criteria of universal access
