Atlanta’s "skyline" following the Civil War was comprised of burned-out structures maxing out at three stories.

Less than 25 years after the Civil War, Atlanta had begun to grow into a bustling commercial center for the region. Development was clustered around the archedroof central train station.

This view looking southwest across the Fairlie-Poplar District, shows many of the high-rises built in the 1910s and 1920s. An array of hotels punctuated the skyline, with the Ansley, Robert Fulton, and Glenn hotels all visible in the picture.

The name Vias comes from the spanish word ways or route. This design was inspired by the directionality of the train tracks of Sinaia, Romania. The abstract concept shows curvature and movement. The transitional train station was designed for the community and visitors of Sinaia with the purpose of transporting individuals from the train station to the hotel or town. The design includes three floors which are the way to each person’s destination.

Connections/2022

“Connections” was inspired by the movement of the site, Daffin Park. The space of this park allowed me to expand and reorganize the area so that the users can have the perfect mobility between the current and added programs of the site. Connection links the activities, sports, and neighborhood, creating a new and active community in Savannah, GA.
