Who: The Architectural Foundation of Cincinnati and the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County
What: Design LAB Exhibition 2018
Where: The Main Library, 800 Vine St., Downtown Cincinnati
When: April 28–May 5, 2018
Why: In partnership with the Architectural Foundation of Cincinnati, the Library introduces the Design LAB exhibit (formerly Architecture by Children exhibit), the final piece of an in-classroom design education program tailored to broaden and deepen student awareness, appreciation and active participation in our built environment. Local professionals worked with educators to guide students through a real-world, themed design problem, emphasizing the development of research and observation, critical-thinking, problem solving, verbal and visual communication, creative expression and presentation skills.
This year’s project theme, ‘Food For Thought’, challenged students to push the limits of where and how we make, buy and eat food. Students had the opportunity to create a three-dimensional model and design process board. Selected projects for students in kindergarten through grade 12 are on display on the second floor of the North Building, outside the MakerSpace.
