The Design Center began 1981 in the academic world and continues to serve as a satellite studio for the College of Architecture and Planning at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. Stroud Watson, professor of architecture at UTK and founding director of UTK's Urban Design Program, received funding from the Lyndhurst Foundation in Chattanooga for use by students to explore urban design issues and problems in Chattanooga. The student work has consistently focused on understanding the city's past, present and future. Eventually student projects began to concentrate on the "heart of the city" (the Miller Park District) and the "origin of the city" (the riverfront). |
