The game begins June 18 and concludes with students presenting their new vision for State Street, the Schenk-Atwood neighborhood, and the Northside to Madison Mayor Dave Cieslewicz. .

TILE STYLE: IS IT FAUX OR NO?

Is it tile or not? Fabulous fakes are behind the biggest cover-up in home design. And just about any bare surface is a candidate for today's fashion-forward ceramic tiles -- walls, floors, ceilings and counters, indoors and out.

Wood look-alikes, some designed in wide-plank formats with simulated grain, are convincing. Some tiles are dead ringers for leather, suede and skins such as alligator, ostrich and lizard. Others mimic metals such as stainless steel, even down to hand-hammered pockmarks and the look of mottling that results from oxidation. Traces of the real element can be infused or embedded, adding shimmer to a metallic look.

Tile patterns that include textural grass cloths, paisleys, polka dots, contemporary op art or bold graphics channel other types of wall coverings.
