Chris Downey takes us on a trip to work from the perspective of a man who recently lost his sight and relates his non-visual senses to the world of architecture. Chris is an architect, planner, and consultant who lost his sight in 2008. Today, he is dedicated to creating more helpful and enriching environments for the blind and visually impaired. His 20-year career has encompassed a broad range of award-winning projects from custom residences to Great Lakes Aquarium in Duluth, MN, and the MIT`s Rotch Architectural Library.
