This is probably one of the most important things I learned at the School of Design. In 1983, I was fortunate to have Vernon Shogren for architectural design studio at NC State. He taught us that we are all biased. We are biased by our background, our values, our skills and our abilities. We tend to focus on only one of the attributes of a design listed in the diagram above to the exclusion of others. In order to create a good building we need to consider the importance of ALL of these attributes.
The exterior restoration of St. Timothy's Episcopal Church in Wilson in now complete. The work included repointing and cleaning the brick, replacing the concrete parapet with new cast stone, a new slate roof with copper flashing, gutters and downspouts. and a new cast stone cross above the main entry featuring the symbol for St. Timothy.
Wake County Commissioners, Wake County School Board Members, Cary Town Council Members and many others braved the wet cold rain to celebrate the construction of WCPSS's latest Middle School Project located in western Cary, NC. We are proud to be the architect for this exciting project and are looking forward to it's construction over the next year and a half. The school features flexible collaborative areas, large windows for great views and daylighting, flexible courtyards for outdoor learning, and multiple colors of local brick.
