MAX_minimum Design Competition is an annual competition for all students of the College of Architecture and\u00a0Design. \u00a0MAX_min encourages collaboration and design thinking to reach conceptual and pragmatic design excellence in\u00a0projects that meet the greatest impact on the design environment with the least possible means.<\/p>\n Students are grouped into interdisciplinary teams to create projects that leverage the potential of design thinking to creatively impact the College of Architecture and Design, the University of Tennessee or the state of Tennessee.<\/p>\n This year, the fast-paced competition launched Jan. 14, 2016, with designs due five days later and judging taking place on Jan. 29.<\/p>\n Teams receiving best of show awards are Team 24 (Project 07_3) and Team 16 (Project 01_3).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Congratulations to Team 24 members, Jola Grzybowska, Drew Donegan, Destiny Huff, Abby Holliday, Kyra Wu, Aubrey Andrews, Allison Randall and Mubarak Hauter. \u00a0Project 07_3 depicts a site near Lake Loudon Road at the water\u2019s edge.\u00a0 The provocation included establishing a new vaporetto system with land\/water station points between UT\u2019s new Cherokee Farm and main campus.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Congratulations to Team 16 members, Christina Lulich, Mason Bolen, Cullen Sayegh and Casey Hall. \u00a0Project 01_3 is a proposed wedge-like space between two Lake Avenue parking garages on the UT campus.\u00a0 Teams were challenged to consider the logic of remnants of residual space.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Teams earning honorable mentions are Team 17 (Project 04_7) and Team 33 (Project 06_6).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Congratulations to Team 17 members, Hannah Margush and Adam Buchanan. \u00a0Project 04_7 was focused on a slot of land adjacent to UT\u2019s new Student Union.\u00a0 Teams were provoked to manipulate the land to use new spatial typologies created from surrounding construction.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/figure><\/a>Designs submitted for the college\u2019s annual MAX_min student design competition were extraordinary, according to the panel of distinguished jurors, so much so that the panel decided to give two honorable mentions and not one, but two, best of show awards.<\/p>\n
