fort facades & follies
My Senior Capstone Project: awwwww.
But some background, Fort Sanders in Knoxville TN is located right next to the University of Tennessee campus and is (was?) the spot for students to live once out of the dorms. The neighborhood itself was built from 1880-1930 resulting in some beautiful victorian-era homes/mansions. While some of these homes are on the National Register of Historic Places, there is such an interesting thing that happens when you marry this type of architecture with twenty-somethings living on their own for the first time.
Fort Sanders is (was?) weird, fun, sometimes sketchy, but ultimately a right of passage as a University of Tennessee student. And for my senior project, it only felt right to try and capture a bit of that spirit—that juxtaposition of old and young.
