Day Trip: Albemarle, NC

Our studio class took a field trip to the small town of Albemarle this past Monday. We did a site study of a space in the downtown area that was a Belk clothing store back in the day. The townspeople we consulted are looking for an exciting design idea that will revive their downtown that has suffered due to a thriving Wal-mart shopping center nearby. They specifically wanted a "young person's perspective", given that the town has a high population of senior citizens, so that is what we intend to give them.
