Timber in the City, an integrations group project, connects occupants from the Marta transit center to a marketplace, community center, and then short-term residential towers. The marketplace is placed closest to the transit entry to give occupants easy access to the grocery store, coffee shop, and food hall. The community center offers a variety of programs including an activity center, bookstore, art retail, and art classrooms that look towards the High Art Museum. The residential tower sits on the corner of Arts Center Way and 15th Street, connects to the community center, and provides an extension of the marketplace with restaurants on the street level. Various sloped conditions are present throughout the design to ease the movement of people between these programs and across the site. [Project Intention] The intent established in this project is to utilize a sense of playful energy to foster a connection between pedestrian and transit, and to enhance the public experience while incorporating environmentally conscious design factors.
