Over 450 student projects were on display at DAAPworks 2025
The sixteenth annual DAAPworks showcase ran April 29 to May 3, with 450 senior projects on display from the graduating class of UC’s College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning (DAAP).
These projects represent the next generation of designers, artists, architects and planners who will soon shape Cincinnati and beyond.
New this year was the Mayor's Future Urban Leaders Award, which went to Lily Sider, a 2025 graduate from the School of Planning.
In addition to the mayor's award, students were recognized by UC’s 1819 Innovation Hub. Those award winners are highlighted on the 1819 Innovation Hub website.
