The 7th designer was Timothy Lucas who is an architect. His father was an interior designer so he was interested in design from a young age. He got his bachelor of arts and architecture from the university of Kentucky in 11974. He worked at many different places throughout his life that involved architecture and eventually started his own firm Lucas/Schwering Architects. He believes that design is in everything around us from the clothes that we wear to the artifacts that we use in every day lives. He thinks that when design is well done it has the ability to transform the lives of the people who use the designed thing. As far as where design is headed, he thins that computers have transformed that design profession and that the use of computers will only continue to expand. He hopes that this will be a source of better communication and collaboration.
The 8th designer was Melody Jackson. She teaches first year architecture here at UK. She originally did not know that she wanted to be a designer and was originally on the pre-med track, but she was always inspired by the work of Leonardo Devinvci. She had the opportunity to study in Scotland. She believes that all choices are design choices and is inspired by things that involve a lot of imagination and creativity. She believes that design is headed in a collaborative path and that design is beginning to blend with other fields like engineering.
