Accessibility Is Freedom and Ajarn Renato went running at Lumphini Park, after the brunch we walked along the road to Silom.. Professor Renato, teacher of Inclusive Design/ DBTM – Design, Business & Technology Management, Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning. Thammasat University, Rangsit campus. We, together have been driving-on the new generation of designers to understand the society and people for many years. One of a lot of trouble-scenes that would like you to see, we found a hotel and a main entrance with has three steps, surely I got a shot and I’d like to tell you a story…

Situation of people with disabilities in Thailand that has been going on for many generations. People with disabilities also have difficulty leaving their homes, public spaces and transportation, buildings and premises are still accessible ‘not good enough’. Let’s think about the school we used to go to every day, and ask yourself: ‘Suppose we have to sit in a wheelchair, we can’t see, or we lost the hearing / how do we go to school?’

16 August 2022 The lecture to incubate empathy and understanding of physical diversity for 80+ of the future young designers, DBTM / Faculty of Architecture and Planning / Thammasat University, Rangsit campus. This year, we’ve made a little adjustment. In the morning: All of the students assigned to have an experiment with physical disabilities walked around the campus, doing their ordinary activities.

Doors, windows, and bathrooms are necessities when building a home. There are forks, spoons, plates, tables, and chairs while we eat. These are the fundamental norms that everybody is aware of and has a natural familiarity with. It’s probably not a thing if it’s missing. But we disregard it, failing to take into account the fact that every person’s body is different and subject to constant change.

I’ve been working on “City Walk” continuously for the past eight years. Started by going to regularly deliver exceptional seminars. I began by doing it with college students from the faculty of architecture and social development. In collaboration with the youth and the network, we steadily widened the area to cooperate till these days.

The plaintiff had filed the suit by themself, there have been three preliminary hearings. The third preliminary hearing, the court decided to send the case on to trial. As the criminal charge rule, I was put in jail for half a day while waiting for the bail process.

Since the last of 30th of May – we have many friends joined our forces. Both come to support and come to follow the cases that I have been sued a lot. This is THE FACES for real.

In the present, there exists various innovations and technology that could slow down vehicles on the street. Nevertheless, I give an emphasis on accident “prevention” before it occurs, to which I would like to refer as “Active Safety.” For this reason, minimum standard requirements have been established as follows: 1. There must always be a speed bump in front of a crosswalk. The speed bump must be able to make the driver experience “bumping” to warn them beforehand.

Everyone must have equal entitlement to public space. Such a mundane and uninteresting, “It’s not my problem”–you may think. Public space in Thailand should enable everyone to commute easily. This is just not the case, basic infrastructures like walkways, overpasses, public transport, and buildings simply “didn’t consider build for everyone”–this is sad but true.
