Rethinking housing in a region on the rise. 🏙️
We’d love to talk to you about our ongoing housing study during lunch at the 2026 Housing Symposium on October 5, 2026, starting at 11:45 am at NC State University`s Talley Student Center.
Presented by NC State College of Design’s School of Architecture, AIA Triangle, and the Pappas Real Estate Development Program, this symposium brings together architects, developers, planners, city officials, and housing advocates to unpack these issues — through keynote lectures, panel discussions, and an exhibition of innovative housing work from the Triangle and beyond.
Registration is free and open to the public. Register at the link in our bio to reserve your spot.

Placemaking by Design: Some Assembly Required — Innovations in NC Modular Housing. Last week we brought together thoughtful voices and fresh perspectives on the future of modular housing in North Carolina.
The conversation explored how design, innovation, and new approaches to construction can help shape more responsive housing solutions across our communities.
Thank you to our speakers, partners, and everyone who joined us for an engaging discussion. We’re grateful for the ideas shared, connections made, and continued conversation around what’s possible when thoughtful design meets innovation.
