Through a series of actions, CASACOR created an even more inclusive experience so that visitors could see up close the
actions related to accessibility developed at the event, with consultancy from architect
Silvana Cambiaghi , to reinforce the improvement of the visit to
CASACOR for wheelchair users and the visually and hearing impaired. Actions developed by the CASACOR exhibition
- Installation of tactile map with dual reading (Portuguese and Braille);
- Insertion of QRCode on the table with audio description of the Masterplan;
- Installation of numbered tactile plates at the entrance to each room, on the handrails of the ramps in the Special Rooms and in the accessible WC cubicles;

Accessibility is one of
CASACOR 's key words. Since 2018, all toilets in the São Paulo edition have an accessible cabin. Before that, in 2016, all areas began to allow wheelchairs to circulate.
