In Denmark, the building sector is in a state of transition towards Universal Design (UD). Thus, UD has not yet completely found its way into the practice of architects and their clients. Legislation about accessibility has dominated. This paper studies understandings of UD through a discourse analysis based on a survey among professionals with experience and interest in UD and professionals who were expected to keep their fingers on the pulse of the profession's development. The findings illustrate the existence of five discourses: 1) Social sustainability, 2) Re-instatement of humans as a focal point, 3) It is not just about ramps, 4) Equality, and 5) Giving a voice. Across the discourses there exists a genuine attempt to legitimise and mainstream UD into the architectural practice, focusing on multisensory and architectural quality in the design of spaces for human diversity in all scales.
在丹麦，建筑行业正在向通用设计（UD）转型。因此，UD 尚未完全融入建筑师及其客户的实践中。立法主要关注的是可达性。本文通过基于对具有 UD 经验和兴趣的专业人士以及预计能关注行业发展脉搏的专业人士的调查，从话语分析的角度研究了对 UD 的理解。研究结果表明，存在五种话语：1）社会可持续性；2）重新将人类作为关注焦点；3）UD 不仅仅是指坡道；4）平等；5）赋予声音。在这些话语中，人们真诚地试图使 UD 合法化并将其纳入建筑实践，关注多感官和建筑质量，在所有尺度上为人类多样性设计空间。
