This collaborative class was completed with the help of students from three disciplines; Visual Communication Design, Industrial Design, and Interior Design. Together we created a book of information about the current state of Columbus as well as our ideas and plans on how to improve the overall health and happiness of the city in the coming years.

Context & Background
Over the course of the semester, we completed research surrounding the wellness of the city of Columbus. Eventually, we broke into teams to complete research on specific districts within the city. My group focused on the Short North, Italian Village, and Harrison West. Not only did we collect information on the current state of the districts, but we all made plans and ideas for what the city could be in the future. Linked below is our group's final collection of spreads that will be printed in the SUR5 book.
