State Owned Property

By Brian | Published: October 31, 2009

The next location of my abandoned spaces project seems to be state owned property of the NCDOT. This entire block of Campbell St. in Wilmington is lined with mostly charming buildings that are full of character. It also looks like…

N. Front and Brunswick Street Images

By Brian | Published: October 26, 2009

Here are some images from an abandoned building that was a shipping center. It is huge, spanning the entire block of North Front Street and Brunswick Street down to Nutt Street. I can't imagine how valuable this land must be. (Read More)

16th and Queen St. Images

By Brian | Published: October 19, 2009

Business in the front, party in the back. Here are some images of a very interesting building on the corner of 16th and Queen St. I spoke with a nice gentleman who is leasing the building next door and he told me that this building use to be a military hanger and the arched section in the back was once twice as long, extending into what is now a parking area. I'm not sure when the hanger area was shortened to its current length. I will have a lot more to say on these places later, as I am currently writing an essay on the value of public space and the effects of abandoned places in an urban environment. (Read More)

Surrey St. Images

By Brian | Published: October 16, 2009

Here are some images from part 1 of my abandoned spaces adventures. I am in the process of writing a much longer essay on the issues of urban spaces and abandoned urban areas. Before I'm done with it I hope to have visited and taken pictures of several more spots similar to this one in downtown Wilmington. I've done a lot of research on this area and I've learned a lot, but if you know anything about the area around 800 Surrey St. just south of the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge, let me know. (Read More)

The Cape Fear Skyway

By Brian | Published: October 15, 2009

The Cape Fear Skyway is a proposed 9.5 mile roadway/ 165-187 foot cable-stayed bridge that would connect New Hanover and Brunswick Counties. It would also be the region's first toll roadway. This project has already gone through countless changes, but as I understand it now, the Skyway would connect U.S. 17 in Brunswick County to the intersection of Carolina Beach Road and Independence Boulevard in Wilmington. The precise route will be determined later in the planning process. According to news station WWAY, "Previous plans for the bridge would cut directly in to the Brunswick County subdivision, Snee Farm. Wednesday, two new ideas were proposed. They would bypass residential areas, and go north of the Brunswick Forest subdivision. Brunswick County officials are generally in favor of those plans." (Read More)

Rain

By Brian | Published: August 31, 2009

The world makes its own music, but we rarely listen with native ears.

-The Quiet American

I’ve always been obsessed with sounds and recently I’ve become very interested in field recordings. For this one, I started with almost twelve minutes of audio, of which I…
