Outside the West entrance of the Art Building, cutting across the grass between the sidewalk and the path to the East entrance. If you approach the building from Speedway look behind the metro bikes.
A trail that was never planned but forcefully formed over time. Students walking the same shortcut every day slowly carved this path into the grass. Shaped by repetition and small acts of impatience, it’s a reminder that people redesign spaces according to what feels easiest.
Stand near the path for a minute and watch how people approach the building and count how many people choose the shortcut instead of the sidewalk.
