End of the semester is approaching fast...the pile of work in front of me seems insurmountable, so I need all the encouragement I can get (hint hint...). Here is a current image of the (complete) reworking of the previous scheme. The courtyard becomes a more public space, though I imagine I will need to add a series of layered walls to improve security but not detract from the sense of elongation. It is quite different than the previous scheme, but I'm more pleased with this version. It's definitely riskier.
Also in the works is a research paper on the patterns of development on Atlanta's west side. Do any of you NBA readers have any info I might be able to use about the Howard School? (Phasing, site conditions, etc.) It's an interesting topic that I think needs to be viewed wholistically in its analysis, instead of focusing on places like Atlantic Station as isolated urban entities. Any other tips on sites I can use as case studies? Right now I have AS, Howard, White Provisions / Brady, King Plow / Marietta St.
