WAITING ROOMS MARIETTA STREET ARTERY AT MEANS STREET ATLANTA, GEORGIA SEPT. - NOV. 2018 CRITIC // BRIAN BELL COURSE // M.ARCH ADVANCED STUDIO I
A train station along Georgia’s proposed Brain Train route connecting universities from Athens, GA to the planned Multimodal Transit Hub in downtown Atlanta. A connection point for the Atlanta Beltline over the condemned Bankhead Avenue Bridge, now infamous as Atlanta’s “bridge to nowhere.” An attempt to realize principles of design starting from a formgenerative statement, as outlined in Valerio Olgiati and Markus Breitschmind’s Non-Referential Architecture [Simonett & Baer, 2018]. What captures our attention while we wait? A mass that expresses gravity, structured by a void that expresses weightlessness.
Study model looking from Carraige Works complex to the Bankhead Avenue bridge showing sectional relationships across paths.
