Architectural spaces intended for human use are planned
and built based on parameters that seek to accommodate the body. Likewise, everyday
objects obey normalizations and standards in favor of efficiency and economy
not only of the resources used in their manufacture, but also of the time spent
using them. However, when the body that uses or inhabits these objects and
spaces has some kind of alteration in its physical, mental or communication
conditions, the concepts of utility, function, time, economy, among others,
need to be reformulated in relation to the individual possibility of the person
who performs the action or inhabits the space. Thus, when the difference
manifests itself in physical and functional aspects, the body reconfigures
itself and uses its own multifunctionality to créate new ways of relating to
the environment and overcome the barriers imposed by the standardized forms of
space and objects.
