HKS Architects's podcast

Ileana Rodriguez, intern architect with HKS, Inc., joined the world's top athletes at the 2012 London Paralympic Games as one of only eight Paralympic athletes on Team USA. Her JOIN US speech uncovers her journey to become a top Paralympic athlete and encourages us to see beyond the devices. Ileana also talks about the many ways architecture celebrates a person's abilities. How can the design of a space change the perception of the user? How can good design change the way we interact? She believes that accessibility issues can be solved via simple design solutions just by really paying attention to what we see.
