Neurodivergence and Architecture

Neurodivergence and Architecture

"This edited collection takes a disability-led approach to neurodivergence. Conceptualizing architecture as an ethical endeavour, its different contributors ask what processes will bring about spaces that genuinely support the flourishing of a diversity of people? What are the relationships between human variety, in all its neuro- and biological complexity, and the design and occupation of built spaces? Across a variety of perspectives, it explores how lived experiences and the accumulated knowledge of diverse individuals and groups can be meaningfully incorporated into the design of the built environment. This is also about how people who consider themselves unproblematically normal pay attention to, and take account of, nonnormative and neurodivergent others that goes beyond commonplace tropes of an assumed abnormality or pathology."
