Abstract

The absence of interior design treatments for the disabled to a satisfactory extent in public spaces is one of the most important problems, especially in Egypt. As this has become something that is not universally accepted, so it became necessary to create an internal environment that is functionally appropriate and aesthetically pleasing, commensurate with the different needs of everyone with different abilities, especially in public spaces (hotels - malls - administrative buildings - clubs - restaurants - Study spaces etc.)
