Part I: Kevin Lynch’s City Elements

District- 

This photo represents a district because it is symbol used to represent the discovery district in central Columbus. It is home to CCAD, The Columbus Museum of Art and The Columbus Metropolitan Library.

Path-

This is representing an edge. This is a photo of High Street and how on one side of High Street is where campus is located and on the other side there are restaurants, night life and housing. Therefore High Street acts as the edge separating these two highly contrasting communities.

Node-

This is representing the intersection between Lane Ave. and High Street. This intersection is a node because it is an essential place on both campus and downtown Columbus that allows for orientation and a sense of direction because both roads are essential to road travel in Columbus.

Path-

The Oval serves as a path on Ohio States’ campus. It is a major means to traveling (by foot) to classes as well as to the student union, Thompson and The Shoe.

The William Oxley Thompson statue is a landmark on OSU’s campus. It allows for students, faculty, and visitors to better understand location amongst the entirety of campus.

Part II: Emotions

Frustration-

This is a photo of the COTA bus system in attempt to show how it disrupts flow of traffic and can be really frustrating. They constantly start and stop and constantly evoke this emotion in  most drivers around the Columbus area.

Pride-

This makes you feel pride to be able to be apart of the something so energetic and exciting. The feeling of being in the shoe is unlike any other feeling and the sense of community that is felt in there is infectious.

Shame-

This is a photo of midway. Sometimes a feeling of shame is often associated with places of night life if the weekend got a little out of control.

Curiosity-

This is the Columbus Convention and curiosity is felt here because a lot of conventions are held here. Conventions can hold tons of unknown information and if one loves to learn new things and expand their minds one often does that a events such as these.

Anxiety-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Often times when heading to Thompson Library it is to study for a big exam finals week or to get a lot of homework. All of which can bring a lot of anxiety along with it.
