All Signs Favorable

As a sign company, we ordinarily spend a lot of time sparring with project architects, who either want signs to be decorative rather than readable, or who want them to be invisible.

We sent architect Jeffrey Kalban designs for the Pan Pacific Recreation Center that echoed the Streamline Moderne style but followed all accessibility standards both in letter and spirit (“Built for Body and Soul,” by Hugh Hart, March 24). Rather than an argument from Mr. Kalban, we got an unexpected call congratulating us.

As a member of the new Advisory Committee for Universal Design to the State Architect, I congratulate Mr. Kalban on his vision. We need excitement and beauty in our public buildings, but we also need them to be accessible and usable by everyone. Mr. Kalban seems to keep that in mind in his work.
