I have been home-bound for a couple of weeks after menicus surgery. It became absolutely clear that half of this house is unsuited for handicapped people: the doors are all very narrow and the hallway makes a narrow S-bend that make it impossible to navigate a wheelchair.
That is what is so hard about design - at least for me as an amateur: it is hard to remember all these concerns I really would like to observe.
It is the same with green building, etc.
I would hate to build something that doesn't also address issues like accessibility and sustainability. I am not fanatic about it; I just want to have it considered.
To help me remember some of these issues I started another blog called fewfavorites
