How does one improve community health through design? In our group, we dove into the problems that arose in the community of Prospect Park. The community has felt a lost connection to the river and the other half of the neighborhood which is divided by a highway. Others in the community expressed concern about being connected to amenities in the area and how to get to these spaces. Through meetings with city leaders and extensive research, we came to the conclusion that senior mobility and aging in place is a major issue. Thus, we designed a route that supports aging in place and addresses accessibility issues in the community. This route tackles senior mobility through design elements such as custom handrails, non-slip pavement, and a new pedestrian bridge.

Environmental Issues + Solidworks exploration
1 in 3 people in America have asthma according to the CDC and it on a steep rise. 3 million deaths every year as a result of exposure to ambient (outdoor) air pollution. 92% of the world's population lives in places where air quality exceeds World Health Organization guideline limits.
Increases in pollution hinder athletic performance. Since an athlete is breathing and taking in more air particles via exercising per minute, this results in the particulate matter being deposited in one's lungs by six to ten times over. The Sypdr training mask can play a position in which it can serve the athlete to be the best versions of themselves.
The Spydr:
•Increases stamina
•Reduces pollution intake
•Enhances endurance
•Boosts VO2 max
