Abstract

Barriers in cities and public spaces limit the autonomy of movement and life of people with physical disabilities. In this way, discrimination is more evident and fosters ableism, an ever-expanding approach that tends to favour bodies that can perform and develop as autonomous and self-sufficient entities, while discriminating those that do not correspond to standards arbitrarily set by society. The paper focuses its attention to the body dimension of disability and its role concerning projects for environmental accessibility, to overcome the dualism between “able” bodies and “dis-abled” bodies and aims at the construction of buildings and spaces for real bodies.
