The book draws on design history, material culture and recent critical disability studies to examine not only the development of a design icon, but also the cultural history surrounding it. Infirmity and illness may be seen as part of human experience, but 'disability' is a social construct, a way of thinking about and responding to a natural human condition. Elizabeth Guffey's highly original and wide-ranging study considers the period both before and after the introduction of the ISA, tracing the design history of the wheelchair, a product which revolutionised the mobility needs of many disabled people from the 1930s onwards. She also examines the rise of 'barrier-free architecture' in the reception of the ISA, and explores how the symbol became widely adopted and even a mark of identity for some, especially within the Disability Rights Movement. Yet despite the social progress which is inextricably linked to the ISA, a growing debate has unfurled around the symbol and its meanings. The most vigorous critiques today have involved guerrilla art, graffiti and studio practice, reflecting new challenges to the relationship between design and disability in the twenty-first century. 606 $aBarrier-free design$xHistory 606 $aInternational Symbol of Access 606 $aSigns and symbols$xSocial aspects$xHistory 606 $aHistory of art / art and design styles$2bicssc 606 $aBarrier-free design$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00827762 606 $aInternational Symbol of Access$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01985188 606 $aSigns and symbols$x Social aspects$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01118365 608 $aHistory.$2fast 615 0$aBarrier-free design$xHistory. 615 0$aInternational Symbol of Access. 615 0$aSigns and symbols$xSocial aspects$xHistory. 615 7$aHistory of art / art and design styles. 615 7$aBarrier-free design. 615 7$aInternational Symbol of Access. 615 7$aSigns and symbols$x Social aspects. 676 $a720.87 700 $aGuffey$b Elizabeth E.$01544785 801 0$bUkLoBP 801 1$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796350803321 996 $aDesigning disability$93863336 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01057nam 2200385 450 001 9910824469103321 005 20221207100400.0 010 $a84-941245-0-1 035 $a(CKB)3710000000770420 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4594639 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL4594639 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11653955 035 $a(OCoLC)1086114573 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000770420 100 $a20200128d2013 uy 0 101 0 $aspa 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aMi abuela y diez ma?s /$fAnder Izagirre 210 1$aMadrid :$cLibros del KO,$d[2013] 210 4$dİ2013 215 $a1 online resource (109 pages) 311 $a84-940348-9-8 607 $aSan Sebastia?n (Spain)$xDescription and travel 676 $a946.61 700 $aIzagirre$b Ander$01603113 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824469103321 996 $aMi abuela y diez ma?s$93927361 997 $aUNINA
