Architecture Of Disability - David Gissen

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 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.
