In March 2017 the Westphal College of Media Arts and Design sponsored an interdisciplinary Design Charrette led by the internationally-renowned design practice, Snøhetta. The charrette brought together over 60 students from a variety of disciplines in a weekend of creative brainstorming, community conversation and collaborative design focused on the re-imagining of several public spaces in the Mantua and Powelton Neighborhoods.
