"Baukultur Initiative Swabian Alb" - from the tender text:
The building culture of a society is not exhausted in spectacular large-scale buildings, but proves espacially in the design of buildings for everyday life. The aim of the awarding process is to identify exemplary architecture in the concrete context of life and to honor architects and the client for their commitment.
We would like to thank once again the team of the Reutlinger architecture office Ulrich Schwille.
"Unhindered with each other" is about dealing with people with disabilities. If they are taken seriously, they get support, for example when reading the menu, and their special wishes are adressed? Are the people with disabilities addressed personally as guests or customers, or just the supervisors and do the employees take enough time?
The topic is everything that every customer naturally expects: good service and responsiveness to individual needs. That people with disabilities are accepted as equal and treated as such often, but unfortunately not always the case. The aim of the action "unhindered with each other" is therefore to reduce social barriers and to include people with disabilities in these important everyday areas.
