Title A name given to the resource Literature on Universal Design and the Built Environment Description An account of the resource This collection addresses existing literature that deals with universal design in the built environment as well as in relation to material objects. While not dealing exclusively about the intersection of disabled doctors and universal design, this collection hopes to point audiences to books that may serve as starting points for disabled doctors as well as the able-bodied community around them to start thinking about what it would mean and what it would look like for disabled doctors to have their voices heard and consequential in the altering and changing of medical environments such as hospitals, clinics, rehabilitation centers, and more.

Title A name given to the resource Building Access: Universal Design and the Politics of Disability by Aimi Hamraie (University of Minnesota Press, 2017) Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Aimi Hamraie Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available University of Minnesota Press Description An account of the resource “All too often,” wrote disabled architect Ronald Mace, “designers don’t take the needs of disabled and elderly people into account.” Building Access investigates twentieth-century strategies for designing the world with disability in mind. Commonly understood in terms of curb cuts, automatic doors, Braille signs, and flexible kitchens, Universal Design purported to create a built environment for everyone, not only the average citizen. But who counts as “everyone,” Aimi Hamraie asks, and how can designers know? Blending technoscience studies and design history with critical disability, race, and feminist theories, Building Access interrogates the historical, cultural, and theoretical contexts for these questions, offering a groundbreaking critical history of Universal Design. Hamraie reveals that the twentieth-century shift from “design for the average” to “design for all” took place through liberal political, economic, and scientific structures concerned with defining the disabled user and designing in its name. Tracing the co-evolution 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 challenging dominant understandings of disability in architecture, medicine, and society. Illustrated with a wealth of rare 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 twentieth-century United States.
