The virus isn’t simply a health crisis; it is also a design problem.

The Bartlett School of Architecture at UCL ran an architecture and design workshop for people with visual impairments this summer. 

When famed architect Michael Graves contracted a mysterious virus in 2003, a new chapter in his life began. Paralyzed from the chest down, the pioneer of Postmodernism would be permanently required to use a wheelchair. He would use this new circumstance to design trend-setting hospitals, rehab centers, and other typologies.

“Accessible architecture is good architecture. It creates places for all people.”

Chris Downey lost his sight in 2008 after brain surgery. But instead of letting blindness ruin his career, Downey said it’s given him insight into aspects of design he’s never thought of before.
