Inspiration from Esraa Rehan: ‘’My approach i Inspiration from Esraa Rehan:

‘’My approach is shaped by my lived experience with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, a condition that reduces motor control and causes physical strain on my arms and hands. Rather than working around this invisibly, I chose to make it visible as a methodology that challenges the normative architecture process.
By taping my fingers during the model-making process, I transformed making into a form of performative testing—asking: how far can architectural production go when the body resists conventional tools and timelines?
These models critique perfectionism and architectural ableism by showing that rigour, clarity, and authorship can emerge through constraint. In doing so, they propose an alternative value system for architectural making recognising disability as a creative methodology.
[...]
No machines were used , almost entirely without adhesives while also being time bound.  It demonstrates how rapid, low-tech model-making can communicate structural clarity and offers an alternative methodology for design thinking’’
