ABSTRACT

This chapter examines the scope of the disability park. The analytic work in this chapter relies on reading visual and material culture as craft for imbuing meaning through object, space, and imagery. It picks up this stitch in, and now move to the design craft of the disability service park. Even more intensified than campus design but often obscured in action is the craft of designing disability as contained and recognizable in institutional services and charity entities. The disability is designed and branded conceptually as compliance; it is not surprising that campus spatial design reflects this curricular appendage. Then the Shriner's have become master crafters in designing disability as both tragedy and the object of charity through the advertising imagery captured in the murals and park sculptures in its spatial design. This chapter also discusses the concretual crafting.
