Hey guys, check out this building over at NC A+T. I worked on the schematic phase of the project in a previous office. It would be worth a quick ride over to Benbow(?) Street in Greensboro. -Travis

'HOT'-lanta.....ummm rather 'COLD'-lanta

2009-03-05T18:41:00.000-08:00

note: please read the following in an english accent.

OMG ATL!

it all started off with the southern snow storm of 2009, causing build up on the high ways, panic in the drivers and well..some simply left in the snow. the fourth year’s [minus three] trip to “HOT-lanta” (cough) rather, COLD-lanta, spent three days gallivanting around the city visiting design firms, furniture showrooms and tasting the delicious cuisine hot–lanta had to offer.

day 1: our morning started off bright and early at 9 am – SHARP. herman miller was the first of the day, we enjoyed juices, coffee, pastries and fruit while engaging in casual business conversations with our colleagues. bettye russell, the women of the hour(s) started off by giving us a brief tour of the herman miller showroom and had a wonderful speaker who gave us helpful tips, hints and suggestions on life after i.arc – yes, there really is a life after i.arc.

we then braved the cold, and traveled to our next destination point, while some made it there quickly, others opted to take the scenic route (1201 e. peachtree st.) lord.aeck.sargent greeted us with warm coffee, tea and a quick tour of their studio space and a brief insight on their historical preservation projects. with tummies growling and faces numb, the fourth years headed off to HOK. hungry, everyone indulged in yummy cookies and canned soda and had an opportunity to get off their feet and chat for a while. HOK gave us a tour of their space and showed us the multitude of projects in which they had been embarking on. a question session closed the tour, and again, many helpful hints were shared.

pause- “okay see you @ 11 am tomorrow.” “ 11..no, try 9…” (everyone growls at patrick and bettye) The rest of the evening was up to students to explore the city, relax and enjoy good food and company.

day 2: 9 am came wayyy too fast. bearing the cold, the heels and a slight “headache” we once again embarked on a long, exciting day of firms and showrooms – this time however, included a lunch break! knoll was the first stop on the agenda and this gave us an opportunity to finally sit in the chairs we had been drawing on index cards for a full semester, thanks to “p”.

we left with our brains filled with knowledge on the designers and textiles and headed off to TVS- design. TVS- design gave us the opportunity to learn about research in design and how crucial it is; from there we were given a brief tour of their space which left us speechless and worked from exploring their four floors of studio space. LUNCH TIME. excited we had an opportunity to eat this day we all ventured to different locations for lunch and enjoyed a couple hours to get off our feet and relax and ponder everything we have experienced thus far. last and final trip was to perkins + will where like TVS-design we were greeted with an alum from i.arc…how exciting! her and her colleague gave us insight on their institutional and healthcare projects and answered our last questions.

we then ended the trip with one final group shot – and embarked on the long journey home.

oh- and THANKS to p.diddy + t.dawg for putting up with all our SHANINIGANS!
