A Senior Design competition studio in which teams of three were asked to develop urban design and architecture concepts for a client developing a property for a mixed use skyscraper in Downtown, Atlanta. Our proposal for the site was to accentuate the connection to the adjacent Emory Hospital by developing a health district for the community. By harnessing the healthcare initiative of the existing surroundings, our project focused on creating a skyscraper and community that flourished off of the idea of a healthy lifestyle. The competition was judged by a diverse group of professionals including representatives from local and national architecture firms, Atlanta city planners, and the Atlanta City Council president.
