Congratulations to Architecture alums Teri Canada, Edwin Harris, and Billy Askey of @evokestudioarch!
Their renovation of @nccueagle’s Broadcast Studio was recently featured in @architectmag.
The revamped studio transforms a cluttered, monofunctional broadcast area into an open, hi-tech, and multifunctional studio capable of providing a variety of set-ups to meet the department’s changing needs.
Attentive space planning reorients the studio to create a direct connection from the building lobby and provides the studio director with clear supervision of visitors and working students. Increased transparency elevates the studio’s visibility by putting its inner workings on display for students and passersby.
Carefully selected and composed materials capture the university’s brand, warm up the previously bare CMU walls, and reinforce spatial connections.
An ACM-wrapped portal gives way to a stained wood wall highlighted by an “ON-AIR” sign announcing the studio’s activity. The stained wood wall pulls people into the TV studio, which is transformed by an acrylic wrap that evokes the flying wings of the NCCU mascot, the Eagle.
Though the studio’s footprint remained the same, removing the existing drop ceiling expands the perceived size of the studio and displays the infrastructure—lights, conduit, and other systems—needed to make the studio function.

Design + Build + Repeat
The Princeville Mobile Museum was developed to preserve the legacy of the historic Eastern NC town and protect it from the dangers of flooding.
The Design + Build program completed the project in the course of 11 weeks during the summer of 2019, and trains students to work with clients, manage budgets, stick to timelines and navigate many other scenarios faced in a professional practice.

Joe Moore is interested in the changing nature of towns.
“What I’m really interested in is how towns adjust when their farm-to-market balance changes. How does the landscape of the downtown area reflect its more (or less) agrarian countryside? Exploring small town morphologies through urban landscapes and urban development has always been an interest,” said Moore.
As a student practitioner in the Doctor of Design (DDes) program at NC State’s College of Design, Moore gets to explore ways in which @townofzebulon has the capacity and the capability to change as new residents and new economic decisions come into play. “My work through the program has allowed me to champion budgets, projects, and programs to re-design our downtown,” he adds. “Without the program, I would not have the skills or research to back up the budgets I’m requesting.”

Continuities and Transformations: Evolving a Home Over Four Decades
Paul Tesar has been designing his home over the past 40 years. Since 1979 he has been collaborating with former students from the College of Design to shape the gradual evolution of his house to “home.” He embraces building as a process, rather than a product, interwoven with the lives of its inhabitants, its place and those who built it, and his home is a true reflection of that.

We are taking to the airwaves!
The Designlife Podcast is the College of Design's new home for in-depth discussions about design research and student impact.
In our first episode, we are diving into how one DDes student is applying her research to green spaces and how they can have a therapeutic effect on mental health.
Listen to the full episode (20 minutes) at the link in our bio!

FULL STORY IN BIO: To many, taking an active role in local government planning can have a myriad of roadblocks.
A lack of access to information, language barriers, excessive time costs and a poor implementation of two-way communication methods are just a few of the reasons why residents across the country don’t speak up during public municipal government hearings. These reasons not only affect how communities develop and are granted resources, but they also have a direct correlation to the health and well-being of certain neighborhoods.
But what if an entire community was able to democratize their neighborhood’s development from the palm of their hand?
Saeed Ahmadi Oloonabadi, a Ph.D. candidate at the NC State College of Design, is answering that very question through his augmented reality mobile application, CommunitAR.
