“Nashville was founded on the west bank of the Cumberland River, and the destinies of city and river have been closely intertwined ever since” - Plan of Nashville (2005)
Then and Now
The built environment along Cumberland River has grown and changed over the last century and half. Once the commercial artery of Nashville, the Cumberland River lost this role to rails, highways and airport runways. Today, the city has begun to look at the river once again.
This exhibit contains the catalog plates from a recent show at the University of Tennessee College of Architecture + Design featuring the work of its faculty. Graphic design of the catalog was by Diane Fox.

n the decade between 1983 and 1993, T. K. + M. K. Davis, while teaching a Syracuse University, produced eight design competition entries, several of which received awards and/or were published internationally. With an emphasis on urban design as the art of spacemaking, the drawings were created before the predominance of digital work. The drawings were carefully crafted with Graphos pens loaded with Pelican ink, drawn onto Canson vellum, and then photographed with a K-5 Kodalith process to produce a ‘radicality’ of stark black and white images.
