In Class: Pathos in My Public Space
A good way to incorporate pathos into a public space would be to try and find a place with a lot of emotional appeal. This doesn't just have to appeal to me but to others as well. Perhaps choosing a space that carries a lot of emotion would be a good idea. Maybe frog fountain for an example. Frog fountain is pretty famous at TCU. It definitely appeals to a lot of people's emotions. For example when everyone graduates, they go by frog fountain to take tons of pictures. Its something that represents TCU and will have a lot of emotional appeal to people since this is where they went with their families right after they graduated college.

Frog fountain is a bit of a 'watering hole' at TCU. I think that's a good idea too because as you mentioned not only TCU students go there. When parents visit their students, they always go to Frog Fountain to take pictures, during football season, it is filled with foam and people play in the fountain and take pictures, alumni come and gather around it, and sometimes people just sit on the edge and talk. Frog Fountain is a bit of a landmark for TCU so all the reasons you listed definitely appeal to pathos.
