The main exhibition will be at 319 W. Martin Street. Additional events will take place in other locations around Raleigh and the Triangle. For the calendar of events, click here. Who will attend: Design Expo Raleigh ’06 will be a two week celebration of the incredible designers who call the Triangle home and all the innovative work being created here. The theme for this year's inaugural event is “Hidden Gems: Great Design in Our Own Backyard.” We have a powerful and wonderful design community – it’s time for the rest of the world to know about it. The purpose of Design Expo Raleigh is to present great design to the public and to give designers, both professionals and students, a forum to display and discuss their work. A unique showcase of applied arts coming together as a whole, Design Expo Raleigh promotes broader awareness of many different design disciplines and creates an opportunity for local designers to network with each other, students, and the public. Among the diverse applied arts to be represented at Design Expo Raleigh ’06 are Animation, Architecture, Graphic Design, Industrial Design, Interior Design, Landscape Architecture, and Textile/Fashion Design. Our main Exhibition ’06 will showcase exhibits from each discipline. In addition, there will be lectures featuring both the educational and professional aspects of each discipline, and tours of specific projects giving the public and other designers a unique perspective on a designer’s creation. It is the goal of Design
Expo Raleigh ’06 to stimulate dialogue between students of
all ages, professionals, and the general public about design and
its role in our lives. Come be a part of it! We are actively looking
for volunteers and sponsors who want to show that great design matters
to them. For more information, click here. When:

Thursday, November 2 (6 pm-8 pm) The Raleigh Urban Design Center, a division of the City Planning Department, with support from Kimley-Horn and Associates, the Triangle Transit Authority, and the Raleigh Convention Center, will present a lecture on parking management by Dr. Donald Shoup, Professor of Urban Planning at UCLA, and author of The High Cost of Free Parking. An internationally renowned parking expert, Dr. Shoup has extensively studied the issue of parking as a key link between transportation and land use, with important consequences for cities, the economy, and the environment. Professor Shoup’s research on employer-paid parking led to the passage of California’s parking cash-out law and to changes in the Internal Revenue Code to encourage parking cash out. For more information about Dr. Shoup, see http://shoup.bol.ucla.edu. If you have any questions,
