About
Duda|Paine
B
oth Duda|Paine Architects principals, Jeff
Paine, AIA, and Turan Duda, FAIA, in the
recent past, have expanded their practical
mixed-use design experience with self-directed
study into issues related to public space and
the urban environment at American Academy in
Rome. While Paine focused on the form, history,
and evolution of centuries-old public spaces,
Duda explored human perception in the urban
environment.
The firm's work includes planning and
design work that is reshaping core areas of
southern cities from Austin, TX, to Orlando, as
well as Atlanta; Washington; Raleigh; Charlotte,
NC; and Chattanooga, TN. Many of these
projects present a new translation of mixed-use
by including public elements such as pocket
parks (as in The Dillon project that is reshaping
downtown Raleigh, open-air plazas that promote
walkability (Dimensional Place in Charlotte), and
even support wellness (gardens at Winter Park
Center for Health and Wellbeing in Orlando) and
integrated art on public view (as in 601 Mass
Ave in Washington and Durham.ID [Innovation
District] in Durham, NC).
