Abstract
This paper discusses the interview part of data collection, of an in-progress research on universal design implementation in public buildings, in Putrajaya. Main issues include public awareness of PWD rights and the true concepts of universal design. Main purposes were to investigate the level of awareness and perception of building managers regarding current and future plan of building's accessibility, and to study their knowledge on universal design theory. Semi-structured interview was carried out with building managers from three public buildings in Putrajaya.
