AIA North Carolina

A huge thank you to Perkins & Will for hosting an incredible tour for the middle and high school students in the Youth Architecture Program with Do Greater Charlotte! ???? The students had the opportunity to explore the world of architecture, get inspired by your work, and learn from industry leaders. We truly appreciate your time and dedication to shaping the next generation of architects!

Hanbury was honored with two awards at the AIA North Carolina Design and Chapter Awards last Thursday, recognizing designs that exceed benchmarks for outstanding architectural design, structural composition, and application of design theory. A Merit Award winner, the Spark LS Leasing Center is an innovative reinterpretation of the traditional campus center—adaptable, mobile, and uniquely "floating" above the landscape to reflect its early transience before settling into a future greenspace. Hanbury also received the Outstanding Emerging Professional Friendly Firm Award, celebrating our commitment to fostering growth and opportunities for emerging professionals. Additionally, our own Kole Retterath, CDT won a Student Award for his project "Squeezed Out: Mapping Diverse Dimensions of Raleigh NC's Housing Crisis," conducted while at NC State.

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.

A recognition so awesome we get to celebrate it twice! Thank you AIA North Carolina and NCNOMA for honoring Neighboring Concepts with the Equitable and Inclusive Firm Practice award. This is something we take seriously as a firm, and hope to be examples for others to join in moving our profession forward. To learn more: https://lnkd.in/erkauYTy
