AF: When you consider the buildings that you designed before you lost your sight, are there things you’d do differently if you could go back?CD: I feel like I could do a lot of that work better now than I did it before, because I think that I have a much more profound awareness of sensory composition and space. It’s not a question of ignoring sight – I had 20 years of experience, plus all my life in general, focusing on the visual stuff. I can still draw what a building looks like.
