The Person Street Project was a research and design project conducted\u00a0by faculty and senior students from the School of Architecture at NC State\u00a0University fall semester 2011. The semester-long project focused on the\u00a0Person Street commercial area near downtown Raleigh and adjacent to the\u00a0Oakwood and Mordecai residential and historic districts. The studio incorporated\u00a0contemporary urban design issues with a particular emphasis on mixed-use,\u00a0pedestrian-scaled urban villages. The project included research on contemporary\u00a0urbanism, mixed-use development, and existing city studies and development\u00a0plans; the urban and streetscape design for the Person Street neighborhood; a\u00a0market survey of the project area; and the design of a mixed-use, housing project\u00a0for the development sites at the north end of Person Street. The project was\u00a0conducted at the College of Design\u2019s Downtown Design Studio and included a\u00a0number of public presentations. The Community Partners included the Person\u00a0Street Partnership and the Raleigh Urban Design Center. Project funding was\u00a0provided by the Person Street Partnership and the Society for the Preservation\u00a0of Historic Oakwood.\u00a0The project concluded with an exhibition at an empty storefront space on Person\u00a0Street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
