Unlimited by Design

July 26 2002 to March 22 2003

Whether you are eight or eighty, you want the world to work for you. The ideal of products and environments designed with everyone in mind is the goal of an approach called universal design. Universal design seeks to embrace the routine activities of the greatest number of people, accommodating a wide spectrum of age groups and physical difficulties. Unlimited by Design is based on the original exhibition at the Smithsonian Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum in New York who licensed the travelling rights to theRehabilitation Engineering Research Center on Universal design at Buffalo. It is a celebration of the spirit and imagination of contemporary designers who have embraced the challenge and opportunity of universal design.

Brooks Stevens Gallery of Industrial Design Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design 273 E. Erie St. Milwaukee, WI 53202. Gallery hours: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday

The exhibit will move to the Center for the Arts in Buffalo, NY in Spring 2003, and further locations throughout the USA later on. Please check www.ap.buffalo.edu/rercud for further info.
