It is located on a small canal with access to the Croatan Sound and other smaller canals, which facilitates an exploratory kayaking experience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c34a8c48f513067c2ca8344/1548552887229-I89PO1M4C95TOCH5PNA2/Courtney+Richeson+Series+01_Page_1.jpg Work - Series 01: Expanding + Contracting Rail Development The railroad was first introduced in North Carolina as a response to the stagnant economy of the early 1800s and was brought about by the Whig Party as part of a much needed state funded infrastructure improvement program. The railroad gave North Carolina the ability to transport goods farther and faster, ushering in economic growth in the tobacco, textile, and furniture industries. The earliest rail line in Raleigh, The Raleigh and Gaston Railroad, was introduced in 1840. This was shortly followed by the establishment of the North Carolina Railroad in 1856, linking Raleigh, Greensboro, Winston, Charlotte, Durham, Burlington, and High Point, creating the Piedmont Urban Crescent. Rail lines continued to grow, reaching their height in the 1920s. The railroads had, and continue to have, a physical presence in the city. These maps intend visualize and reveal how that presence has changed overtime. Collectively the maps begin to suggest how rapid rail development from the 1840s to the 1920s had a significant physical impact on the development of Raleigh, Wake County, and the Triangle. This development is then contrasted by the mapping of the contemporary rail lines and related development, which suggests the underutilization and decline of rail use. This temporal shift calls into question where the future of rail is headed and how the rail will continue to be used relative to its past. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c34a8c48f513067c2ca8344/1548557340582-NLSBC66OTIISVQ8PM6UL/5+night+2.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c34a8c48f513067c2ca8344/1548180966086-CYPW7D95ZR967MWMFUUV/final+1+pink+double.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c34a8c48f513067c2ca8344/1548542874684-KWZCSZJ365RBI2DAZ626/looking+up.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c34a8c48f513067c2ca8344/1547746293276-Y0LRZT1ET42VLJ3ZJCLX/Site+Plan.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c34a8c48f513067c2ca8344/1547847712953-5SUWMDJW7RYWA71ED9YH/CourtneyRicheson_image6+copy.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c34a8c48f513067c2ca8344/1571874660310-JW9SMQ36IPA5N9T1B5VH/Pine+Valley+Library+-+1.jpg Work - Connecting the community to the neighboring wetlands The Pine Valley Branch Library is uniquely situated with a shopping center to the north, and protected wetlands to the south. The proposed site plan features multiple outdoor amenities for both children and adults, such as an event plaza for gathering, a children’s plaza for storytime, and an outdoor porch for quiet reading. The bio-retention areas featured throughout the site function not only as stormwater collection, but also potential outdoor education opportunities. Additionally, the site will be connected to the Cross City Trail, such that the library will be accessible by pedestrians and cyclists. The proposed Pine Valley Library footprint is approximately 16,000 sqft and is arranged on the site with the intent of connecting patrons to the wetlands just beyond the property. Strategically placed fenestrations will provide views to the natural wooded areas that surround the site. The interior is intended to be a bright and colorful space that can easily transform to meet the needs of the library and community. As a library of the future, Pine Valley will be a place where people can not only consume content, but also become creators. Role: Architectural Designer SD, DD, CD, and CA with VINES Architecture.
