Envisioning an architectural design that fully integrates disabled persons into its production, it advocates for looking beyond traditional notions of accessibility and shows how certain incapacities can help to positively reimagine the roots of architecture"--PPN: PPN: 1886758883Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-4-NLEBK
