Selwyn Goldsmith Awards for Universal Design
Established in 2011, in recognition of architect and founding figure of universal design, Selwyn Goldsmith. Winners in the Selwyn Goldsmith Awards are selected by a specially convened panel of universal design experts.

An environment or building that is responsive, flexible, welcoming, easy to use and occupy; allowing all to use with dignity and equality. The Selwyn Goldsmith Awards seek to promote and applaud those schemes which have gone beyond the building regulations, as a minimum using best practice guidance, putting people at the heart of the project and showing exemplar design.
