Accessibility is a multidimensional concept. It refers not only to the accessibility of buildings and public spaces but also services. Therefore, it includes a discussion of accessing education, health care, employment and state services, as well as architectural design. Furthermore, it relates to the right to be present and visible without having to face excluding gaze. All these dimensions are interrelated and reinforce one another. For instance, inaccessible environments lead to the seclusion of a disabled person to the private space of her home. With time, the person’s invisibility in the public space, at work, in the concert hall and school becomes the new “normal” and the use of these spaces, or even to ask for the right to use these spaces becomes “abnormal”.
