Adapt or Design - 99% Invisible
Briefly

Kurt Kohlstedt's serious injury led him to seek innovative design solutions for accessibility, giving rise to 'Adapt or Design.' This twelve-part project is divided into three acts, focusing on inclusive designs for individuals with functional limitations. The first act explores adaptations for tasks requiring one hand, while subsequent acts delve into assistive designs for recovery and customizable typing systems. The project celebrates milestones in Kurt's life while addressing practical challenges faced by those with similar experiences, emphasizing the importance of adaptive solutions in everyday life.
This project marks the one-year anniversary of Kurt's debilitating injury, pushing forward his exploration of accessible design solutions that respond to personal challenges.
Kurt and Roman discuss innovative adaptations, including shoe hacks and one-handed keyboard systems, providing practical solutions for the challenges faced in everyday tasks.
