North Carolina Building - Latest Designs Architecture News - latest additions to this page, arranged chronologically: James B. Hunt Jr. Library, Raleigh Design: Snøhetta photo : Mark Herboth Hunt Library - 4 Apr 2013 Generous open spaces connect all floors of the building and open stairs emphasize an interactive and social environment alongside more focused study areas. A wide variety of study and learning environments, and technology-focused experimental labs break the now ubiquitous model of the learning commons. “Disruptive” learning spaces with colorful, dynamic furnishings exist beside more traditional study rooms. The building design recognizes the power of chance encounters and celebrates the role of physical space in the intellectual stimulation of its users. Tryon Bridge Beacons, Charlotte Friedrich St.Florian Architects picture : Julie Mazella Tryon Bridge Beacons - 22 Feb 2012 The Tryon Street Bridge is an important point of entry into uptown Charlotte. There is a sense of theatrical splendor that radiates from the assembly of high rise buildings seen from the bridge. The view appears as a stage set while crossing this key threshold. This new set of portals is a framing device that offers focus and compression not unlike the opening of the curtain upon the first act of a lyric opera.

Courtesy NCMA The 127,000-square-foot, single-story project—one of only ten to receive the Honor Award for Architecture this year—was selected from hundreds of submissions worldwide. The AIA announcement of the Award notes the building interior's "gently luminous setting," the result of natural light that is filtered through hundreds of elliptical oculi in the ceiling, and the way in which its exterior, enclosed in matte aluminum panels, "continue[s] the discourse with the landscape" and offers "unexpected and scintillating reflections." Raleigh-Durham International Airport Terminal 2 Building 2011 Fentress Architects picture Nick Merrick © Hedrich Blessing RDU Terminal 2 Terminal 2 is the world’s first major airport with a lenticular wood truss structure supporting the roof, which creates a warm, inviting passenger experience and a sense of place unlike any other airport in the world. Phase I opened in 2008 with 19 gates; Phase II adds 17 gates and features a soaring 96-foot-tall signature steel mast and canopy that welcomes passengers into a 60-foot-high arrivals hall, and a new south concourse beyond. “Inspired by the region’s craftsmanship and high-tech biomedical research, Terminal 2 is a world-class gateway to the largest research park in North America,” said Curtis Fentress, Principal-in-Charge of Design, Fentress Architects. Fentress’ design provides the latest in self-service trends and airport technology, from a common-use environment to a state-of-the-art structural system. Terminal 2 now boasts six pieces of public artwork, 60 self-service check-in kiosks, 10 security checkpoint lanes, and 36 boarding gates, with an annual capacity of 11.4 million passengers.
