The three-month Breaking Down Barriers contest is open to all students of architecture, interior design, planning, industrial arts and construction in the city.
Contestants have to choose one public work for research, analyze its shortcomings in terms of access to disabled people and suggest solutions.
Pham Nhat Bon, a senior interior design student at the HCM City University of Architecture, said the contest sounded interesting and would help him and other students in these streams apply what they had learnt in designing works for people with disabilities.
The contest is organized by the centre and the university’s interior design faculty./.
