Barrier Free

The article deals with the challenge of designing an entrance that meets the requirements of a barrier-free environment and is aesthetically pleasing. Two entrance design options were considered: with a porch and without it. The first one is treated within historical timeframe and the second one is modern, allowing for massive use of wheeled portable vehicles to move purchases and personal belongings, driven by the power of one person. Two main contradictions have been revealed in the professional designer’s mindset when choosing entrance design for wheelchair users. The first is associated with the habit of using a porch as a historically traditional, unquestionable spatial form. The second is due to the usual reluctance to more carefully develop the vertical layout of the site in order to provide a porchless entrance to the building. The student design project considered demonstrates a creative solution overcoming these contradictions. The result is considered as a typological novelty in contemporary architecture.

Barrier Free

The problem of the discrimination of people with disabilities remains being an urgent social problem. Misunderstanding of the meaning of this problem by others results in a situation when invalid’s level of life cannot be equal to a healthy person’s level of life. This article raises the issue of ableism in order to explore the idea of barrier-free environment integration. The results of a social survey are demonstrating a good level of respondent’s awareness concerning this problem and their will to participate in a discussion and taking of measures for the integration of a barrier-free environment with the intention to raise the invalid’s level of life.

The paper presents the possibility of using cloud computing in project management. Cloud computing is the most rapidly growing field of IT and is used in many areas of business activity. Modern companies and organizations carry out many activities in the form of projects. Case study of two projects using cloud computing shows that it is possible and can be successful use of cloud computing in project management. The first project involved the transfer of ERP system in an international enterprise, and the other, a smaller one, involved the implementation of technical documentation in railway station reconstruction. The scope of the projects were different and the using of cloud computing were different. Finished projects testify to the fact that the project needs may impinge on the different ways to use cloud computing. And that the projects can be successful.
