The program was an immersive international collaboration bringing together students from the Ohio State University and Mackenzie Presbyterian University.

 

Led by Professor Susan Melsop, as a part of her #DesignMatters Course, students from the Department of Design at Ohio State traveled to São Paulo to work alongside local students from Mackenzie Presbyterian University to support design/construction projects for a local community organization--Cisarte.

 

The work was further supported by Professor Juliana Bertolini and Vila Itororó Canteiro Aberto.  

 

The program was realized with plans to continue the collaboration.
