The designers selected to participate in Exhibit Columbus’s fourth edition, Public by Design, convened in late February to present their site-specific installation concepts to the greater Columbus community.

Held at The Commons, a community event space in the modernist architecture–abundant Indiana city’s downtown core, the program brought together the four 2022–2023 J. Irwin and Xenia S. Miller Prize recipients—announced last September, they are Tatiana Bilbao Estudio, Studio Zewde, PORT, and Practice for Architecture Urbanism (PAU)—along with seven University Design Research Fellow (UDRF) cohorts and the High School Design Team to showcase their proposed designs. Also presenting was this cycle’s communications designer, Chris Grimley. Each installation will be on public view across downtown Columbus, including at four key partners sites, beginning August 25 through fall.
