Hennepin History Museum

Under the direction of Prof. Tasoulla Hadjiyanni, third-year Interior Design students responded to the needs of Mexicans, one of the Twin Cities’ largest immigrant groups, as well as the Ojibwe people, one of Minnesota’s largest Native groups. Trained to provide for human welfare through the design of interior environments, the students created culturally sensitive design solutions, i.e. residential designs that support diverse ways of living. At the same time, on the conceptual level the designs speak of ‘what does it mean to be a Mexican or an Ojibwe?’
