Having achieved these objectives, it was possible to verify the relevance and applicability of this proposal: to elaborate practical guidelines, simplified and complementary to the legislation and norms in force, helping the elaboration of proposals and improving the space for use by the elderly and the general population, establishing a link between academic scientific production and the practice of architecture through space.
