About 20% of our population experience some form of disability at any given time, and our public spaces have been inadvertently been designed in ways which exclude that 20% to some degree. Since the advent of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the requirements for urban facility design are moving towards universal access. This idea book is directed towards that goal, and is loaded with illustrations providing a stimulating look at the possibilities for improved signs, maps, furniture, drinking fountains, garden beds, etc. Architects, landscape architects and product engineers will find numerous innovative, seminal designs to serve as springboards for further innovation. City planners, park and recreation administrators, and access advocates will find a new framework for discussions of what accessibility means, as we move forward in making public spaces more usable for our entire community.

A radical critique of architecture that places disability at the heart of the built environment Disability critiques of architecture usually emphasize the need for modification and increased access, but The Architecture of Disability calls for a radical reorientation of this perspective by situating experiences of impairment as a new foundation for the built environment. With its provocative proposal for “the construction of disability,” this book fundamentally reconsiders how we conceive of and experience disability in our world. Stressing the connection between architectural form and the capacities of the human body, David Gissen demonstrates how disability haunts the history and practice of architecture. Examining various historic sites, landscape designs, and urban spaces, he deconstructs the prevailing functionalist approach to accommodating disabled people in architecture and instead asserts that physical capacity is essential to the conception of all designed space. By recontextualizing the history of architecture through the discourse of disability, The Architecture of Disability presents a unique challenge to current modes of architectural practice, theory, and education. Envisioning an architectural design that fully integrates disabled persons into its production, it advocates for looking beyond traditional notions of accessibility and shows how certain incapacities can offer us the means to positively reimagine the roots of architecture.
