Design Slam is a fast paced, live design competition held annually as a part of Knoxville By Design. In conjunction with the Community Collaborative, this year’s competition focused on innovative concepts for redeveloping the alleyway at Speedway Circle in Historic Burlington. Unlike previous years, teams this year were composed not only of architects, but also landscape architects, interior designers and various makers. Team ‘Squeakywheels’, which included MHM employees Adam Buchanan and Kevin White, took home the People’s Choice Award for their project ‘Timecircle’ which explored Knoxville’s relationship to transportation.
