Michael Graves: Designing a better hospital room (2009, San Diego, California)

After a crushing illness in 2006 that left him paralyzed from the neck down, the American post-modern architect of renown returns to deal with the practical maters of how to do the simple, everyday things minus the motor skills we take for granted. Ever the consummate designer the artist presents on stage the qualities of human self experience that drive civilization forward one small victory at a time. This, in spite of the insults that the market economy can leave in its wake on the way to the next cool thing, the next big win fall, and all that easy money. By the way—his approach is still market savvy, profit generating, attractive and functional.

Michael Graves passed away March 12, 2015 (aged 80).
