Accessible Design can be Beautiful

When award-winning architect Henry Tsang was 18 years old, he had his heart set on becoming a medical doctor. To meet the requirement for volunteer hours on his med school application, he worked in the gerontology department of Montreal’s Hotel-Dieu Hospital. Tsang spent a lot of time pushing seniors in wheelchairs from their ward to the hospital garden, navigating narrow hallways and avoiding stairs.
