The DisOrdinary Architecture Project is creating inclusive urban spaces
It is true that everyone experiences the world a little differently. This may be due to the ways that we have been socialised, past experiences and traumas, or simply our individual perspectives. The ways in which we navigate our physical environments may also vary quite a bit, especially when we are dealing with a disability of some sort.
For people with disabilities the world can be a genuinely difficult place. Most architectural and urban environments consider the needs of the disabled as an afterthought, as a way to avoid technical and legal issues.
In 2019, the lack of accessibility in many public spaces and built environments for people with disabilities is truly astounding, and it is something the people at The DisOrdinary Architecture Project are trying to address.
