Building of Architecture Atlanta, GA
The most important aspect of our design is the
use of steel structures to incorporate the
significant relationship between building and
green space in Atlanta. The representation of
this aspect can be seen on the North elevation in
the steel bridge connecting the design studios
directly to the gallery space. The dominance of
the bridge on this façade illustrates the
importance of said subject to the level of regard
to which the city of Atlanta holds it. Our
design also responds to the importance of a
flexible design studio through an open two story
space with a third floor loft studio overlooking
the rest of the studio on the second floor. The
openness allows the structural steel to be seen
as part of the design, while allowing a maximum
amount of flexibility in the layout of the
studio. The use of details such as high windows
and stone cladding tie the building into the
campus setting by reflecting such images found in
other campus buildings, most notably neighboring
Lupton Hall. These details tie the building into
its surrounding while the aluminum and glass
central atrium give the building its own modern
style.

The pedestrian bridge spanning between the studio
and the gallery features unique tree shaped
structural supports. They are formed by various
wide flange shapes and connected longitudinally
by channels.
