310 Architecture + Interiors

Congratulations to Gabrielle Schiltz, Designer for 310ai, and recent NC State College of Design graduate, for receiving a 2024 AIA North Carolina Student Design Award recognizing her contribution to the Spring 2024 DIY Cartography course taught by Professors Sara Queen (Associate Professor of Architecture) and Professor Tania Allen (Associate Professor of Art + Design). Gabby’s submission titled "Growth and Vulnerability: Measures of Social Vulnerability within Patterns of Redevelopment" supplemented the collective submission "Squeezed Out: Mapping Diverse Dimensions of Raleigh’s Housing Crisis". Submission excerpt: The following visual essays employ practices of critical cartography to better understand the many complex factors that have contributed to the current state of housing in Raleigh, the Triangle, North Carolina and US. A primary aim for this research is to ultimately create more equitable, effective and innovative design and planning approaches to the future of housing and urban development writ large. Towards supporting synthetic understanding of the factors hindering equity, this research examines historic and contemporary data specific to Raleigh NC, with the aim of offering key insights for other cities across the country.

In celebration of world architecture day, we are sharing a few examples of how we convey design ideas.?Using various formats and media (ex. renderings, sketching, diagrams, drawings and models) we transform ideas into clear depictions of how spaces, materials and context are organized. Good ideas mean very little if they cannot be clearly understood by our clients and community members, so we hone and experiment regularly to find the most appropriate approach for each project.

Located in The Village District, a prominent Raleigh shopping destination, a well-established jeweler has expanded their offerings with this bespoke men’s watch store. Presented as a speakeasy, clients are encouraged to linger, relax, and enjoy a craft cocktail while considering their next purchase. Reclaimed materials, exposed existing brick walls, low ambient lighting and warm natural materials frame merchandise and enrich the atmosphere.?? #Fox&Bailey #bespokewatches #watches #speakeasy #experience #architecture #interiordesign

Congratulations everyone, and especially to our own Robert Cramer. Way to go!
