In our society multiple hierarchies exist when it comes to bodies. These hierarchies find their way to many fields of our daily life, including map applications (apps) and while places are becoming more inclusive, most of them are still tailored to a more “normal” user. In this explorative design thesis, I intend to explore different perceptions of the city and maps from the position of a wheelchair user by bringing multidisciplinary practices in Interaction Design field and through several design concepts. The thesis will follow the principles of Research-through-Design and will be supported with research in pluriversal design, phenomenology and norm creative innovation. It will explore the notion of “value” through different encounters between bodies and maps.
