Disability, Space, Architecture: A Reader

Beschreibung

The book offers many new ideas, methods and built examples to architectural and urban design educators, students and practitioners; and to wider audiences who want to think about disability and built space differently.

Autor

Jos Boys trained in architecture and has worked as a journalist, researcher, academic and community-based practitioner. As a non-disabled person she is particularly interested in how architects and other built environment professionals can act creatively and responsively as designers and policy-makers without misrepresenting or marginalising disabled people. Her previous book, Doing Disability Differently: An Alternative Handbook on Architecture, Dis/ability and Designing for Everyday Life, grew out of a series of collaborations between disabled artists and architects, through a group she co-founded called Architecture-Inside Out. Previously Jos has written extensively about feminism and architecture. She was co-founder of Matrix, a feminist architectural design and research practice, and has been a member of the TakingPlace art and architecture collective.
