Barriers to communication, mobility and in the built environment
Explanation:
Architectonic is not the apppropiate term here. In disability rights settings it would be more normal to refer to the "built environment" - more general than the Spanish, but it's the appropriate target term.

Physical is vague - let's make it more precise and use mobility.

Barriers, be they physical, architectonic or communicative


Explanation:
or: whether physical, architectonic, or communicative

The word architectonic really is highfalutin, but if it's there in the original I wouldn't replace it.
