Olympic Legacies Past and Future

By Scott Rains on April 11, 2010 8:48 PM | 0 Comments

The Vancouver Winter Paralympics and Olympics were a well-planned campaign of cultural inclusion. Beyond the macro-impact made by 2010 Legacy Now! and Measuring Up the North we are left with artistic expressions like Duet. Watch it here.

Looking ahead to Brazil's 2016 Olympics and World up 2014 we have a short period for open commentary. Brazilian Universal Design specialist Renta Mello runs the site (in Portuguese) Desenho Universal. To be certain that the legacy of her country is equally inclusive she asks for recommendations on stadium accessibility during the remaining 14 days of open commentary on the Brazilian document NBR 9050/04
