Architecture Students Design in Nashville’s East Bank near New Titans Stadium 

Students in Professor TK Davis’s Nashville Urban Design studio are doing one thing: Visualizing possibilities. In both spring and fall 2022, TK Davis’s studio has focused on the reinvigoration of the East Bank area of…

UT Architecture + Design
Students and recent grads from Kimberly Mitchell’s Graphic Design classes were named as winners in the GDUSA 2022 American Graphic Design Awards. Of the 10K entries, only 1,000 received awards, and of those, six are from our college. Congrats to May 2022 graduates Allie Lopez Torres and Samantha Huang (Friends in Translation app) and Michael Bloodworth (Dignity Project), and to our current students, Lauren Favier (social pastiche poster), Maggie Meystrik (3D typography poster) and Jessica Taylor (animation).

A sneak peek…Our Master of Architecture students A sneak peek…Our Master of Architecture students conduct independent research into thematic issues deeply relevant to architecture. Across the cohort, they produce provocative work grappling with architecture’s agency in the emerging world. In fall of their final year, they develop their thesis proposal and document, which is the groundwork for a design project completed in spring, guided by a project advisory committee. 
.
To take a sneak peek at the Master of Architecture students’ final spring design projects, we’ll share work over the next weeks from their fall proposals. These reflect the framework of their fields of interest, intellectual allies including precedents from scholarly and creative works, early experiments with design methodologies, a working stance on territory, as well as proposals for their spring design projects. Enjoy this glimpse into their insightful and provocative ideas, starting with work from students Maxwell Batchelor and Amir Elraheb.

We offer 2-year and 3.5-year Master of Architecture degrees: archdesign.utk.edu/schools/school-of-architecture/. Start your application now: archdesign.utk.edu/apply/apply-to-master-of-architecture/.

Maxwell Batchelor: Speculative Representation.
This thesis seeks not only to replicate the practice of the DRAWDEL through scripting but also to deconstruct, modify and expand the practice into a methodology of my own. This practice will include a number of phases, beginning with the [1]digital, translating to the [2]physical and then moving into the realm of [3]speculative representation. As with anything in this realm, legibility is not the goal but rather the qualities of the work.
.
Amir Elraheb: Earthen Evocations.
Earth has an identity and a memory. As designers who alter the earth, we can contort these features of the material, which play with the effects of the materiality of earth products. This earthen typology can coalesce with a multitude of other materials to produce architecture that retains a sense of place and tell a story from its memory.
If you run, walk, bike or work on the campus of th If you run, walk, bike or work on the campus of the UT Research Park at Cherokee Farm, you’ve seen the stunning new landmark. In fall, students in James Rose’s School of Architecture studio designed a 3D-printed pavilion, inspired by the native plant called trillium, and built it on the park’s greenway. In the process, they learned about architectural applications of large-scale additive manufacturing, advanced materials and robotics and how to use the Volunteer spirit to benefit the community.

@locirobotics partnered with the studio to 3D print the impressive structure that is made from recycled and recyclable polymers. A project of the college’s Institute for Smart Structures, which is directed by Rose, the Trillium Pavilion was funded by the @utresearchpark, @utkresearch and @aiaetn.
Don’t miss the first lecture of our spring serie Don’t miss the first lecture of our spring series on Feb. 6, which features Lydia Kallipoliti @lydiakallipoliti, associate professor at @thecooperunion. Kallipoliti will present “Our Dirty Footprint: Architecture in the age of extinction, entanglements and other bodies.” The lecture begins at 5:30 p.m. in the Art + Architecture Building and is free and open to the public. Details are here archdesign.utk.edu/event/sp23-lecture-kallipoliti/ and found in Latest Events in our Linktr.ee.
