Theorists and critics have been exploring intersections between architecture and gender, sexuality and race for many years. Why, then, does disability remain stuck in the language of function and regulation, in an entirely atheoretical and ahistorical space? In this talk Jos discusses what can happen to architecture and its practices if ‘normal’ (and normative) assumptions about disability – and ability – are challenged creatively and critically. She will argue that thinking differently about dis/ability can have unexpected effects across common sense architectural understandings as to what constitutes it’s theories, histories, practices and technologies.
