Tennessee Concrete Association Proposes Summer Urban Design Program

Print Print this Article | Send to Colleague

The Tennessee Concrete Association (TCA) is working with professors at the University of Tennessee’s College of Architecture & Design to develop an Advanced Urban Design Studio program centered around the TCA’s headquarters and campus development. Based at the Nashville Civic Design Center (NCDC) over 10 weeks during Summer 2015, the program will provide precedent research on issues, opportunities and exemplars involving the innovative design of reinforced concrete, as well as aspiring to a very high level of sustainability and resilience. The program will also reflect best practices in urban design development within its emerging innovation or "maker" neighborhood context. A master plan consisting of non-contingent, phased development will be developed and designed at an architectural scale of consideration. In addition to significant faculty time, the enrolled students are expected to work on the project a total of almost 2,250 hours.

More details about this program are available and companies interested in sponsoring this program should contact TCA’s Alan Sparkman at asparkman@tnconcrete.org.
