Abstract

"Reveals that the twentieth-century shift from 'design for the average' to 'design for all' took place through political, economic, and scientific structures concerned with defining the disabled user and designing with them in mind. Tracing the coevolution of accessible design for disabled veterans, a radical disability maker movement, disability rights law, and strategies for diversifying the architecture profession, Hamraie shows that universal design was not just an approach to creating new products or spaces but also a sustained, understated activist movement that challenged dominant understandings of disability in architecture, medicine, and society. Illustrated with a wealth of archival materials, Building Access brings together scientific, social, and political histories in what is not only the pioneering critical account of universal design but also a deep engagement with the politics of knowing, making, and belonging in the United States during the twentieth century"--

Abstract

"A context of aging populations and urbanization has sparked a global movement to make urban spaces age-friendly. The Age-Friendly City program, developed by the World Health Organization, aims to improve local environments for all population groups, promote a positive aging identity, and empower local policy actors to support senior citizens. Despite growing enthusiasm and policy work by local governments worldwide, considerable gaps remain. These lacunae have led scholars and activists alike to align age-friendly city work with the concept of the right to the city. In The Right to an Age-Friendly City Meghan Joy zeroes in on the intricacies of developing an environment that promotes social and spatial justice for the elderly in Toronto. Weaving together the stories, struggles, and victories of local activists, government staff, and frontline service providers, Joy maps this complex policy area and examines the ways in which age-friendly work successfully enhances senior citizens' access to services and support in the local environment, recognizes the diverse needs of senior citizens in the city, and empowers policy actors from local government and the non-profit sector to support senior citizens. A detailed and timely examination, The Right to an Age-friendly City offers both broad and tangible insights into the intermingled political, economic, cultural, and administrative changes needed to protect the rights of senior citizens to access urban space in Toronto and beyond."--

Abstract

Opgericht in 1973 door initiatiefnemer Wivina Demeester herbergt Monnikenheide in Zoersel een woonzorgcentrum voor personen met een verstandelijke beperking. Een bijzondere plek voor bijzondere mensen, die in dit boek voor het eerst wordt bekeken vanuit een architecturaal perspectief. In de vijftigjarige bouwgeschiedenis van Monnikenheide gingen telkens andere architecten op zoek naar de ruimtelijke mogelijkheden binnen het leidmotief van de inclusie. Zo ontstond een uniek landschap dat de grenzen van de zorgarchitectuur ruim overstijgt. Monnikenheide is een krachtig architecturaal statement over de plaats van zorgbehoevende mensen in onze samenleving. Met bijdrages van Gideon Boie, Sofie De Caigny, Fredie Floré, Vjera Sleutel, Thomas Vanderveken, Heleen Verheyden en Erik Wieërs. Met projecten van Luc Van den Broeck, Bruno Boulanger, Mark Depreeuw, b0b Van Reeth/ArchitectenWerkGroep, Maarten Van Severen, Architectuurgroep Jo Peeters, Huiswerk architecten, Vermeiren De Coster Architecten, Richard Venlet, 51N4E, UR architects, FELT architecture & design.
