Thank you so much for all these great videos . they are all very insightful and made very creatively. I love the graphics ! Also they give a 100,000 mile holistic view of the subject which can help us lead to explore further.
Great video. The illustrations help keep me engaged for sure. It's also important to note that the ANSI A117.1 (2009 version) is the current Accessibility Code recognized by the IBC code (at least for now, up to 2018). Even though there is a newer ANSI A117.1 (2017 version) available now.
Thank you for these videos and your illustrations. They are very easy to follow. It would be wonderful to also see more images of women and people of color represented in them. Not saying that your videos have not illustrated them. I notice that the architectural profession overall is not very diverse and these educational tools could help future architects (and current) begin to get use to seeing diversity. I love my industry and I just want everyone to be welcome and equally represented. Keep up the great work.
Sorry, it has been a year since you left your message but if you have seen archicorner videos since this post you will see that your comment has been implemented. Thank you.
Someone (a CASp certified individual) with good intentions wrote CalDAG to show differences between ADA and California Code and also to show how a designer can meet both requirements. Therefore it is an interpretation by a person with great experience, but not an official Code. It’s a great manual to have. But that’s what it is, a manual or guide, not a code. Hopefully that make sense.
The State of Massachusetts uses the dollar value of building projects per 521CMR to trigger its requirement for disability Access i.e. 30% or more spent of the value of the building triggers 100% requirement of public space and/or features to comply with the applicable chapters and sections of 521CMR . Its building code not Civil Rights law that goes beyond ADAAG standards
I'm the 500th thumb up! I have a question that I hope you can answer: when is ADA stair required in a building? An ADA stair requires a minimum of 48" between the handrails, but IBC only requires 44" including the handrails and 36" for occ. load less than 50. This would make a big difference to the design. To make it more confusing, I can't find clear width requirement for stairs in ICC A117.1. So where is the 48" requirement coming from?
thanks for the thumbs up!!. I don't know what state you are in and therefore am not able to help with the answer. However one place to start in is knowing that building elements can provide for "egress" and/or "ingress". In California for example, The California Building code requires 48" for ramps used for "ingress" (IBC 11-B 405.5). But if used for egress, they can be 36" (IBC 1012.5.1). So, maybe that is where you can start, if you find it in IBC chapter 10, than it's an "egress" requirement. If you find it in ICC A117.1 it's most likely an "ingress" requirements for accessibility purposes.
Ironically, your video does not offer closed captions and therefore is not fully accessible. Please change your settings to allow closed captions or provide a transcript. Thanks.
Thank you for nice video!!! It's really hard to understand code things since English is my third language...I tried to read both of them, but still confusing... For me ADA looks like a law and accessibility is a building code, however I am not sure which one I should follow. One of our project lawyer mentioned I should follow ADA 2010 for parking lot, I even don't know he is correct or not... when we need to check ADA? I heard from someone, ADA is for public space and accessibility is for interior... Is that correct?
Na Lu; I started to reply to you, but the reply got very long and very complicated. Therefore, my apologies, but your comment is too complex to try and reply thru this medium. Sadly, there is NO “one-size-fits-all” answer when it comes to accessibility. Every project & every jurisdiction is different. What works for one project may not be what works for another. I hope you have an architect in your team (perhaps your boss?) that you can sit down with you and review the project. If not, you may want to consider hiring one for the project. Best wishes to you, and hope you find the answers you are looking for.
archicorner Thank you for your advice! I know it was a really complex question. I will study more and ask architects about this. It was my first time to see the architecture field video which I am really interested. And I really like the way you explain basic ideas. Thank you again!!!
I'm confused about the toilet distance from the wall. In this video it says 17-19 inches, but in the video specifically about toilets this distance is listed as 16-18 inches. Which one is correct?!
Can you please specify the minute and second of the video where the contradicting comment was made? The video notes ADA = 17"-19" and California = 17"-18". 17" - 18" is within the allowed 17" - 19" so it still works. Let us know please.Thank you for your comment
In 1991 ADA (which was in effect until March of 2012) a toilet must be 18" from the side wall. No range was given, but you could acknowledge accepted construction tolerances. In 2010 ADA a toilet must be 16" to 18" from side wall when in the open, or when in a wheelchair accessible stall. In an ambulatory stall (think of someone who uses crutches or a walker), 17" to 19" is the dimension because it is roughly centered in a stall that is 35" to 37" wide. When a dimensional range is given, a construction tolerance outside the range is not acceptable. whew!
@@arielsaadat This is for ADA restroom stalls only. Not all restrooms need comply with ADA, such as residences and most hotel rooms (except for ADA hotel rooms and ADA apartment units, etc).

Great Video- Thanks. Caldag is not mentioned. Where does Caldag factor in to this and does is superceed CBC?
Someone (a CASp certified individual) with good intentions wrote CalDAG to show differences between ADA and California Code and also to show how a designer can meet both requirements. Therefore it is an interpretation by a person with great experience, but not an official Code.

@@nalyu1707 In the USA check the State Accessibility Code. Whichever is more restrictive, state or ADA applies.
But occupancy permit is only granted once a building fully complies, is that right?
It depends. Some jurisdictions allow for a “partial” certificate of occupancy.

whew!
I thought toilets (in residential buildings) are min. 15" from the wall?
@@arielsaadat they are but thats not for ADA code
@@arielsaadat This is for ADA restroom stalls only. Not all restrooms need comply with ADA, such as residences and most hotel rooms (except for ADA hotel rooms and ADA apartment units, etc).
audio is shite in this one
