“Homes for adults with disabilities are commonly horizontal and introverted institutions,” say Lambert Lénack, the architects of the Paul Meurice Home and Day Centre in Paris.

The centre is one of the highlights of AZURE’s Creating Inclusivity issue, which focuses on people and projects around the globe making strides towards equity-based design.

In this issue, we present some of the practitioners around the world who are seeking to change that.
