Archive

This archive provides an insight into the projects The DisOrdinary Architecture Project has played a key role in over the last 15 years. From built projects and artistic interventions to research and publications, these projects demonstrate how we have integrated new kinds of creativity and critique to disability and design since 2007.

Each project in the archive takes a lead from concepts coming out of disability activism, scholarship and arts and focuses on social, spatial and material justice. With every project there is an exploration around how we can go beyond concepts such as access and inclusion – which attempt to ‘include’ disabled people in current education, practices and environments - and aims to challenge and change those ways of thinking. By doing so, each projects works to find creative and critical ways to see beyond ‘common sense’ assumptions that frame ability and disability as simplistic binary oppositions; with one marked as obvious and unproblematic and the other named as a ‘problem’.
