2024 CONCEPT


LET’S CHALLENGE the line of thinking that Nashville is the “next” this or the “next” that.

Nashville’s global identity has been “Music City” since The Jubilee singers hit the road in the late 1800s. However, we know that music doesn’t begin to cover the breadth of artistry that lives and breathes here. Neighborhoods that were once underground art scenes are becoming epicenters of design. That’s just one example of how our history influences our design choices, but in practice, design is so often about the future. Maybe we have been thinking about Nashville’s future for so long that we have lost track of the present.

Nashville’s story doesn’t end with us. The creativity we showcase in 2024 will be our time capsule of the present.

How does the past influence our design identity today? What does presence even mean in a city bursting at the seams? How do we plan for the unspoken future without losing ourselves in the process?
