Time Magazine interviews an corporate architect about how the arhictecture profession has been changed by the ADA.
It is 11 years since Congress passed the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), making it against the law to discriminate against those with physical or mental handicaps. "Kenneth Lill, a senior associate with the Phillips Group, architecture firm in Manhattan, specializes in the design of corporate interiors, and has done considerable ADA-compliance work. TIME.com spoke to Lill about how his profession has been changed by the ADA... I dont think its made our job more difficult; I think since people know they have to do it theyre more educated in it and its more routine."
