OTYPE=R : boksjwccompleet.txt : 01241 | Date published 01-03-1969. This submitted piece by architect A. Middelhoek is a reaction to an article published on November 16, 1968, in BOUW by Th. K. Molenaar in which he points out that most buildings are still inaccessible for the handicapped. Among other things, this article is illustrated with a photo from 1955 of the Hotel Britannia in Vlissingen by architects J.W.C. Boks, W. Eijkelenboom and A. Middelhoek. In this piece, Middelhoek defends himself on behalf of the architects with two arguments. First, that in 1955, accessibility for the disabled in general did not play a significant role in the programs of requirements, and second, that the photo depicted in Miller's article is not the only entrance to the Britannia, but that there is another main entrance (photo exterior main entrance), which is indeed easily accessible for the disabled. The author advocates for a better study of the on-site situations and plans.
