Why Architecture-InsideOut?
Architecture-InsideOut is an Arts Council funded project bringing together architects with disabled and Deaf artists to explore innovative new ways of designing buildings and spaces which improve the built environment for everyone.
Our mission is:
‘to promote activity that develops and captures models of new practice for the built environment, led by the creativity and experiences of disabled and Deaf artists’
We do this by enabling creative and constructive collaborations between disabled artists, architects, educators and related agencies; and by capturing and publicising the best work so as to continually inform developing practices.
AIO Projects and People

AIO aims to build contacts and networks. We host events and provide support for the development of disabilities and architecture projects, which are documented in Our Activities.
AIO Artists presents a gallery of the artists who regularly contribute to AIO's ever-widening scope of creative thought and expression, as well as working independently, in education, public and community arts, and on specific building projects. Through Related Projects, we want to promote the quality of work done and encourage dialogue and collaborations with built environment professionals.
