In 1965, Miyake invented the tactile paving slab (or "Tenji block" in Japan). Today's Google Doodle celebrates the first introduction of the block, 52 years ago! #AccessibleTravel https://t.co/8LM00b6C6q

디자인이 모든 유저에게 당장의 도움을 줄 뿐만 아니라, 그들이 속한 공동체 행동을 변화시키고, 사회의 모습까지 역으로 디자인함을 알려주는 사례. 창안자인 미야케씨는 자비를 털어 보급운동을 하다 파산 직전까지 가고 결국 만성폐렴으로 56세에 과로사. https://t.co/XkxL1xgyRb
