No one is more surprised than me that this follow-up story made it to the very first page of the Boston Globe last Saturday. Here’s the full story. The Accessible Icon Project continues to outpace all our expectations for it. In the Wildest Dreams files: it has just been acquired for the permanent collection at MOMA, in the Architecture & Design division.

a shot of the front page of the Globe, featuring a story titled "A symbolic salute to progress." Brian Glenney, my design partner, and I are holding one of our newest stickers in front of a standard ISA on a parking sign.

It’s good you’re here.

Some bodies do some things, and others do others. Prosthetics, bodily capacity, expanded engineering and creative research, flexible adaptation, possible futures, interdependence, collaborative design, inclusive systems, productive uncertainty, and critical making—these things drive our work.

We hope—we do try—to cultivate humility in the face of complexity.

Please be in touch.
