The Metaproject book series chronicles the RIT industrial design annual initiative for which it is titled and numbered in chronological order. Each book tells the story of the unique relationship between the particular year’s selected industry partner, unpacking the unique assets that RIT offers to deliver outcomes that offer real-world connections to the students working under Owen’s tutelage. Metaproject 13’s industry partner was Lazzoni.
