A building/place that I think represents "good design for all" is Numba Parks in Osaka, Japan.  The reason that I think this represents good design for all is because it has so many elements combined into one.  It has an office space for working, a shopping mall for playing, and natural garden areas for just relaxing and enjoying some sun.  If you compare it to the architecture surrounding it it has a much earthier and greener look to it that makes it stand out from everything around it.  The location of this building/place is across the street from a train stop which just happens to be the one right after boarding the train from the airport which means that it is easily accessible for both locals and tourists.  Also, I think this building/place is aesthetically pleasing and is very interesting to look at and I will bet its an even more interesting place to go.
