CDS hosted the session and invited students to participate in a \u201cseating scavenger hunt\u201d across campus, studying different bench designs and how people interact with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exercise helped students identify what works and what doesn\u2019t when designing for diverse users and public environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe project taught us that designing for the public isn&#8217;t always about the aesthetic appeal,\u201d Bachelor of Architecture student Ariel Johnson said. \u201cIt\u2019s about the ability to maintain inclusion while also keeping a majority of the community satisfied or physically comfortable with a design.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An important component of the workshop was a lesson in ergonomics led by Suzanna Tomich Waterfield from UWM\u2019s College of Health Professions &amp; Sciences. Her insights helped students better understand comfort, accessibility, support, and the physical factors that influence how people experience public seating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading size-h3\" id=\"h-from-classroom-concepts-to-city-fabrication\">From classroom concepts to city fabrication<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Using those insights, students created preliminary bench concepts, with selected participants now advancing into a paid internship phase. During this stage, students will refine their ideas, iterate on their designs, and build full-scale prototypes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The long-term vision is for Milwaukee City Parks to fabricate the final designs through the skilled carpenters and welders of the Department of Public Works (DPW), turning student work into city-built park infrastructure that can be deployed across neighborhoods, while leveraging an existing partnership between DPW Forestry and Kettle Moraine Hardwoods to provide urban wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Custom solutions designed to be fabricated by DPW skilled tradespeople, from materials sourced by DPW arborists, and installed by DPW laborers can be less expensive, more functional, and more durable than off-the-shelf options,\u201d Milwaukee City Parks Manager Joseph Kaltenberg said. \u201cThey also keep&nbsp;our dollars here in Milwaukee, supporting local families with good jobs and fair wages.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The collaboration reflects CDS\u2019s ongoing commitment to community-oriented design and sustainable construction practices. It also strengthens connections between UWM students, faculty, and municipal partners while giving emerging designers real-world experience creating solutions for public spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen designing our schemes as a team, our experiences, collaboration, and roundtable discussions challenged us to think critically about design possibilities and begin thinking outside of the box,\u201d Master of Architecture student Ryan Hernandez said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWorking alongside faculty and city partners showed us firsthand how design decisions translate beyond the classroom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-p-sm\">Story by Oliver J.
