Nags Head Sustainable Feasability Study, Brenna Laffey, Department of Interior Design and Merchandise, East Carolina University, Greenville, NC 27858 A civic group and one of the property management companies are attempting to establish Nags Head as a tourist destination that is environmentally concerned. This means the homes and condominium units would meet the latest standards in environmental design to encourage tourists who want to stay at a "blue/ green" destination. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification criteria are to be used as the basis of this analysis. In this study we evaluated the options for sustainable renovations of Outer Banks vacation rental properties, setting a model for determining environmental, economic, and aesthetic impact of these suggested renovations.

Piero della Francesca: A New Perspective on "The Flagellation of Christ", Allie Craver, Department of Art, East Carolina University, Greenville, NC 27858 Piero della Francesca (c. 1415 - October 12, 1492) was an Italian artist of the Early Renaissance. He is especially known for the integration of geometry in his compositions. Ironically, in less than a century after Pieroâ€&#x;s death, his artworks were forgotten and his major altarpieces were in disuse. Had it not been for his mathematical treatises, inspiring future investigations of linear perspective, Piero and his art would have been erased from history. Piero, an ambitious scholar, designed his own rules for foreshortening the human head, cube, and columns. He was able to analyze the positioning of these objects to stimulate depth. However, his peculiar arrangement of figures in ambiguous compositions has sparked disputes amongst art historians. Since Francescaâ€&#x;s death around 1492, his life and artworks have remained enigmatic. My paper focuses on one of Francescaâ€&#x;s works, arguably his best painting, The Flagellation of Christ. Scholars not only debate the date but also the identity of the figures represented in this singular piece. The Flagellation of Christ remains a mystery to the art world but the aesthetic appeal of its linear perspective is undeniable.
