Disability, Space, Architecture: A Reader takes a groundbreaking
approach to exploring the interconnections between disability,
architecture and cities. The contributions come from architecture,
geography, anthropology, health studies, English language and
literature, rhetoric and composition, art history, disability
studies and disability arts and cover personal, theoretical and
innovative ideas and work. Richer approaches to disability - beyond
regulation and design guidance - remain fragmented and difficult to
find for architectural and built environment students, educators
and professionals. By bringing together in one place some seminal
texts and projects, as well as newly commissioned writings, readers
can engage with disability in unexpected and exciting ways that can
vibrantly inform their understandings of architecture and urban
design. Most crucially, Disability, Space, Architecture: A Reader
opens up not just disability but also ability - dis/ability - as a
means of refusing the normalisation of only particular kinds of
bodies in the design of built space. It reveals how our everyday
social attitudes and practices about people, objects and spaces can
be better understood through the lens of disability, and it
suggests how thinking differently about dis/ability can enable
innovative and new kinds of critical and creative architectural and
urban design education and practice.
