Node:Vista: Design Development

This past week saw design developement for the CBI Durham Project. With the aid of our program document, as well as any other information we had gathered, Leah and I started to design the space itself. Below is a compilation of our work. It is by no means finished, but it is a glimpse into what we have as of yet. The next phase is to further polish the design; it should be interesting. 


We are extracting the notion of a vista and translating it’s essence into a physical form that people are able to interact with. In this respect, the vista/architectural statement becomes a node through which people can walk. It serves to bind the two forces behind the construction: CBI and Downtown Durham. The NODE : VISTA will guide clients through the space as a means of way-finding, connecting all layers, levels, and pathways created.
