The experience created a desire to make the world more accessible for all people, with or without disabilities. Harrison grew up in the Bronx and attended Pratt Institute for Industrial Design, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in 1958. Following Pratt, he earned his Masters of Arts from Cranbrook Academy of Art in 1959. From there he went on to teach Industrial Design and Photography at RISD until his death in 1998. The design principle during his early career was that products should be made for those of average shape, size, and ability. The intention was that these products would work for many people; but the elderly and disabled found many products with this design philosophy to be difficult to use. Harrison turned this principle on its head by establishing that products should be designed for people of all shapes, sizes and abilities. This was the concept that came to be known as Universal Design. Harrison incorporated this design philosophy into projects both at RISD and with his private consulting firm. Since Universal Design was first defined as "The design of products and environments to be usable by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design", it has been applied to many fields, including education, technology and the built environment. https://www.ilzrohouse.com/marc-harrison-drawings daily 0.75 2021-11-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611561e10c286a59c25b5a37/647a8983-5e23-447d-b221-76786c13dcb7/15+NHarrison_017.jpg Marc Harrison Drawings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611561e10c286a59c25b5a37/1635956699638-D6CUUM34SS9PNUPX5T2D/12+NHarrison_013.jpg Marc Harrison Drawings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611561e10c286a59c25b5a37/78855cef-47be-4c54-9915-752f73573b0e/16+NHarrison_016.jpg Marc Harrison Drawings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611561e10c286a59c25b5a37/9ed89476-4f6b-45c0-8798-a2cdd524841f/14+NHarrison_003.jpg Marc Harrison Drawings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611561e10c286a59c25b5a37/55248090-b112-4aef-b2b9-197ef566adaa/13+NHarrison_011.jpg Marc Harrison Drawings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611561e10c286a59c25b5a37/729519f4-1e18-428c-a168-6b7098559607/1+NHarrison_20.jpg Marc Harrison Drawings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611561e10c286a59c25b5a37/83d59b3a-d043-4377-b66e-d9b9cfa71941/2+NHarrison_006.jpg Marc Harrison Drawings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611561e10c286a59c25b5a37/5cf1f8ca-d49b-41db-9bf8-5a3860a8af9c/3+NHarrison_018_darker.jpg Marc Harrison Drawings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611561e10c286a59c25b5a37/1fee0864-3e8d-4e39-a765-04a7cdb3cd8b/4+NHarrison_010.jpg Marc Harrison Drawings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611561e10c286a59c25b5a37/c614058e-e315-4bf7-b277-369a3a38711b/6+NHarrison_005.jpg Marc Harrison Drawings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611561e10c286a59c25b5a37/448d4b08-7c0b-4c0a-b8c7-db3183f40089/7+NHarrison_004.jpg Marc Harrison Drawings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611561e10c286a59c25b5a37/e0341be6-4f03-408f-b613-ce3e2ddfdd9d/8+NHarrison_001.jpg Marc Harrison Drawings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611561e10c286a59c25b5a37/b1aea7cf-4030-405a-847d-b01bc1224c5b/9+NHarrison_002.jpg Marc Harrison Drawings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611561e10c286a59c25b5a37/130ae686-be47-4831-a312-e80c6bf406fa/10+NHarrison_007.jpg Marc Harrison Drawings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611561e10c286a59c25b5a37/255b3e31-84a8-41e3-a91b-d34bbb7d187d/11+NHarrison_012.jpg Marc Harrison Drawings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611561e10c286a59c25b5a37/9d391832-1f08-45a5-ba8d-3e2c7aefdf89/11+NHarrison_014.jpg Marc Harrison Drawings https://www.ilzrohouse.com/media daily 0.75 2023-01-27 https://www.ilzrohouse.com/gallery-1 daily 0.75 2022-07-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611561e10c286a59c25b5a37/17e91614-537f-4043-9f39-84dfd9aac30e/islandora_2344707_MEDIUM_SIZE.jpg Marc Harrison Designs Towards the end of his life, Harrison became involved with the RISD "Universal Kitchen" project, based on concepts of Universal Design. The project was led by design directors Jane Langmuir, Marc Harrison and Peter Wooding. It was the brainchild of Langmuir, who alongside Harrison saw the kitchen as an icon of poor design; one in which the able-bodied can remarkably adapt. Harrison believed that it was the role of design to accommodate the user, rather than the user having to adapt to rigid, unforgiving design. The design study, undertaken by RISD students, documented each step in the process of cooking a meal in a conventional kitchen in order to develop a more efficient, time saving, and user-friendly model. Based on their findings, the students built a prototype "Universal Kitchen." Harrison, one of the pioneers of the philosophy of Universal Design, did not see the final outcome of the project. On September 22, 1998, Marc Harrison died due to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). The Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum in New York City exhibited the prototype of the "Universal Kitchen" from November 1998 though March 1999. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611561e10c286a59c25b5a37/ca41b07a-f38a-4234-be39-9dfe56e8cdb5/cuiuinart+original+pic.jpeg Marc Harrison Designs The iconic Cuisinart food processor https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611561e10c286a59c25b5a37/3857cda5-9ea1-4211-a74b-9f423ec89172/islandora_2344561_JPG.jpg Marc Harrison Designs An adaptation of the original Cuisinart machine https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611561e10c286a59c25b5a37/e5d33b05-f71f-4923-bd15-cb3b1f5fb6a7/islandora_2344565_JPG.jpg Marc Harrison Designs Cuisinart Mini-chopper https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611561e10c286a59c25b5a37/01360723-a2e7-44d4-8b9a-2637a3c493b9/islandora_2344589_JPG.jpg Marc Harrison Designs The Grand Griddle.

Working in conjunction with the national Red Cross and its Boston chapter, Harrison and his RISD students initiated a five-year project to research its feasibility. The Red Cross Bloodmobile was created. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611561e10c286a59c25b5a37/d989e14f-e3f0-4c1d-bc3a-cc3a6f30344d/islandora_2344644_JPG.jpg Marc Harrison Designs The goal was to enable the Red Cross blood programs to readily access various sites and, more importantly, to adopt design technologies that comfortably accommodated donors of varying ages, sizes, and physical abilities. The final design was patented and the Red Cross used it extensively thoughout the country. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611561e10c286a59c25b5a37/3fc5a78c-f550-4a07-afd8-c5213f817bd3/islandora_2344519_JPG.jpg Marc Harrison Designs Detail of Red Cross Bloodmobile donation seating https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611561e10c286a59c25b5a37/7e40c61f-262d-4455-894a-91789b65c0c1/islandora_2344514_JPG.jpg Marc Harrison Designs One of the first gaming systems installed in retail outlets for lottery ticket sales https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611561e10c286a59c25b5a37/b84b5b3e-3261-458a-81ae-3ff07893911a/islandora_2344640_JPG.jpg Marc Harrison Designs Krups personal heating device https://www.ilzrohouse.com/then-and-now daily 0.75 2022-07-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611561e10c286a59c25b5a37/1658858628699-YSE00IJC9S7MXQ63XZ4D/ILZRO008%2B%25281%2529.jpg GALLERY: Then and Now LIVING AREA 2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611561e10c286a59c25b5a37/1658858598357-DU61Q0D6A5TVU2W6Y54Q/The_ILZRO_House_3.jpg GALLERY: Then and Now LIVING AREA 1973 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611561e10c286a59c25b5a37/6fdf1112-4393-47ac-b851-e43134c1cb87/ILZRO005.JPG GALLERY: Then and Now LIVING AREA 2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611561e10c286a59c25b5a37/18fb0f21-a185-4a21-abc3-f642b37bcfa8/ILZRO021.JPG GALLERY: Then and Now Kitchen and dining area 2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611561e10c286a59c25b5a37/d4652e88-b4a9-49dc-b2ba-b4a26fc756f3/ILZRO032.JPG GALLERY: Then and Now The kitchen was designed in 1972 for universal use.
