Human beings, in the great spectrum of their physical and emotional responses, have a wide variety of needs; so how can the concept of “good design” apply to all people? In the panel Design for Humankind on Thursday, October 9—just head of our keynote address with Daniel Libeskind—Christine Marvin of Marvin Windows and Doors joins New York architects Robert Kahn, and Joseph Tanney of Resolution: 4 Architecture, will examine modern strides in accessibility and universal design. The panel runs 4:30–5:00 p.m.
