David Bonnett is a consultant architect with a background in both local authority and private practice. In 1994 David completed his Research Degree (Ph.D) on "Design Effectiveness for People with Severe Disabilities". This, as well as his personal knowledge of disability, has made David a leading figure on the subject. He has worked on a wide range of projects including the Roundhouse in Camden, Tate Britain, Royal Festival Hall, King's Cross Station, Ashmolean Egypt Galleries, Sir John Soanes Museum, Sadler's Wells Dancehouse.
David Bonnett Architects was established in 1994 in response to the demand for his particular experience and skills as Architect-Access Consultant. Following expansion, the practice was reformed as David Bonnett Associates (DBA) in 2001. DBA is now one of the leading access consultancy practices in the UK, working on significant projects and with many of the major architectural practices in the UK and Europe.

Handicap This! is a true story that started in 2001 and continues to this day. Mike Berkson and Tim Wambach hope this show will further their message of 'Judgment Not Allowed' and inspire all of us to do more with what we have. Handicap This! will stir your senses, challenge your thinking and wake up your attitude. It's a look at breaking down barriers and living with disabilities - most of all about everyone's potential.
In this 78-minute journey you will experience an entertaining message of possibilities. Mike Berkson, one of the stars of the show has cerebral palsy, but this show is much more than a disability awareness piece. You will be inspired to do more with what you have and everyone will enjoy every minute of this roller-coaster ride of emotions.
