IMPRINT. was founded in January of 2013 by a group of students who saw a need to create a new way to talk about and experience design and design education.
This year, our goal is to develop a living, evolving online archive to capture student life and work at the College of Architecture and Design. IMPRINT. wants to become a forum for conversations about all aspects of design, and we believe that by uniting the voices of the three disciplines within our college — architecture, interior design and landscape architecture — we can achieve that.
Throughout the year, we will be asking for blog entries: anything from a quick recap of a college event to an involved research essay. We want to showcase what students in our college are doing and thinking! We will also be curating an online photo gallery, a sort of snapshot of our lives within the college. We will have calls for student work throughout the year, but if you have ideas, writing or images to contribute — don’t hesitate to submit through the “SUBMIT” button on this website. We want this to be a collaboration between every student in the college.
It is our pleasure to bring you the Welcome Series, which will focus on the new student experience at the College of Architecture and Design. In this series, you will find tons of useful information — from tips and tricks from older students and a map of the architecture building, to fun places to go in Knoxville and lists of the best places to shop for supplies. We hope that you find this useful as well as exciting, and that you’ll keep coming back to visit us throughout the year. There is lots more in store!
