Leslie Friesen (College of Art) and Thad Druffle (Speed School/Conn Center) and have collaborated once again on a class integrating engineering and art/design. This one is "Co-Creation/Industrial Design" and the student teams' final presentations for innovations in rainwater capture & storage are at UofL this Thursday April 28th @ 5:30pm. The class concept was covered in Insider Louisville and IDSA (Industrial Designers Society of America) ... and you can read more about it here:

Overview
- Leslie Friesen will give a brief overview of why the Course exists, its goals, objective(s), aspirations and future direction.

Start Student/Team Presentations:
- Team 1, H20 Reclamation: Rainwater capture, collection, cleaning and re-distribution utilizing a clever venturi effect valve leveraging water pressure to supplement H2O inflow powered by an off-the-grid storage and supply system.
- Team 2, RainWater Collection System (We Love H2O): Rain/Storm water capture, with multiple levels (pun intended) of imaginative and unique collection for long term storage designed for year-round best-use of potable water.
- Team 3, RainWater Harvest: Roof & Driveway/Parking Rain/Storm water capture, Team 3 has designed a unique, modular long-term storage system approach to architecturally integrate the traditional “homeowner” rain barrel, allowing placement options, greater storage capacity and custom volume sizing.
