Architecture student in Northern Virginia embraces deaf community in design and in life
Washington-Alexandria Architecture Center (WAAC) graduate student Kim Le’s master’s thesis is on deaf architecture. Going beyond conventional research, she is both learning American Sign Language and is active in the greater Washington, D.C., metro area deaf community. “I think my thesis in a way has changed my life. By being fully immersed in the deaf community, I just have a completely different perspective now,” said Le.
