  The topological trivial band of a lattice can be driven into a topological
phase by disorder in the system. This so-called topological Anderson phase has
been predicted and observed for uncorrelated static disorder, while in the
presence of correlated disorder conflicting results are found. Here we consider
a Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) waveguide lattice in the trivial topological
phase, and show that quasi-periodic disorder in the coupling constants can
drive the lattice into a topological non-trivial phase. A method to detect the
emergence of the topological Anderson phase, based on light dynamics at the
edge of a quasi-periodic waveguide lattice, is suggested.
