Royale, 105 W. Colfax Ave., South Bend. Graves, an Indiana native, is credited with broad- ening the role of the architect in society and raising public interest in good design as essential to the quality of everyday life. His architectural practice has designed more than 400 buildings worldwide. Known for bringing sophisticated design to housewares for Target and J.C. Penney, Graves’ focus has expanded to improving design in the healthcare industry. Paralyzed following an infection that spread to his brain, Graves has been confi ned to a wheelchair for the last 10 years. In the course of his treatment spanning two years in eight hospitals and two rehab centers, he was struck by the poor design of health-care facilities and the chairs, tables and devices used by patients. Graves has designed hospitals, assisted-living facilities, doctors’ offi ces and homes for people with disabilities. He has created a line of hospital chairs and tables, as well as consumer products for seniors The Fresnel Lens from the Inner Lighthouse in St. Joseph, Mich. and others with physical disabilities.
