The concept of "access," or the ability to fully enter, navigate, and experience a physical space, continues to be a civil rights issue for disabled communities. While the Americans with Disabilities Act has ameliorated some of the accessibility barriers disabled people have historically encountered, inaccessibility remains a pervasive problem in the built environment and is still not an integral part of the design process. This dissertation provides a critical perspective to the notion of "access" by examining why functional and experiential inaccessibility persist despite ongoing legislative reform, how perceptions of the body itself influence how spaces are created, and how the nature of accessibility is connected to these underlying epistemologies. Drawing from the theoretical foundations of social constructionism, I argue that social perceptions of the body's instrumentality are the true impetus behind exclusionary architectural modalities, which I demonstrate are specifically motivated by capitalist ideologies in the United States. I develop a new framework for disability grounded in a concept I name "embodied cultural personhood," which can be understood as the normatively laden status afforded to individuals capable of upholding sociocultural notions of what the purpose of the body is taken to be. Based on this conceptualization of disability, this dissertation shows how the nature of access is intimately tied to teleological understandings of the body, influencing who spaces are made to accommodate. The phenomenological implications of inaccessibility are also discussed utilizing a hermeneutic phenomenological methodology, which elucidates the phenomenological implications of inaccessibility for disabled lived experiences. I conclude by offering practical recommendations grounded in the concept of participatory planning, an inclusive design strategy which centers disabled voices throughout the design process, fosters collaboration between design professionals and disabled communities, and holds promise in enhancing meaningful spatial inclusion moving forward.
