Business Overview
"Barrier-free" is intended to improve the social environment in which people with disabilities feel inconvenienced, and to realize a universal society in which both disabled and able-bodied people can live efficiently. However, the problem is that there is still an assumption that there are able-bodied people and disabled people, and that disabled people tend to conform to the society of able-bodied people. The Barrier House Project, launched at Asahi Art Square in February 2015 by artist Haruchi Osaki, is a project to construct an actual house in collaboration with architect Shunichi Kasajima.
