The authors of this article present issues concerning not only disability but also rehabilitation, which allows the disabled to become more independent. The principal aim of this article is to discuss the problem of the handicapped who have to face the world that is still non-adapted to their needs in terms of architecture. Hence, this paper is focused particularly on the role of designers creating the space surrounding the disabled who strive for returning to normal active life.
