SITE LOCATION: 985 Monroe Dr NE, Atlanta, 30308 Atlanta has become home to a diversely rich community, filled with people from various backgrounds, incomes, and lifestyles. The site located as a “Midtown Connection” is at the heart of an intersection of 10th Street, Monroe Drive and Virgina Avenue and serves as the end of the Pride Parade, Lantern Festival and other parades.
Project Abstract The project calls for a Diversity Center that provides an identity to not only Midtown but to the under-represented groups that exist here to intersect among each other in a space designed to engage the public and become a “home for everyone”.
01
Program Brief | SITE CONTEXT
Historical Background The current program of the site is a strip of small retail spaces with a front facing facade to the street and a back facing the Beltline. Currently, the site is not being utilized in an ideal nature, with a 50% coverage of asphalt parking and a favorable “point� of the site being used for garbage disposal, a Diversity Center that can engage not only the community but also the site itself is the base generator for the project’s nature.

Program Brief | SITE CONSIDERATIONS
Beltline Located along the Beltline and just a 10-minute walk away from Ponce City Market, the Diversity Center should reflect the existing context of the surroundings. In addition to this, the center must also become a potential destination point along the Beltline or in some way engage the Beltline.
Accessibility Access to the Beltline should be priortized and not ignored, there should be some type of connection or relation back to the Beltline, by use of pathways, stairs, materiality, etc. Other site considerations include but are not limited to:
Walkability
Varying Visual Exposure
Contextual Significance
Maximize Views

Conceptual Considerations| MATERIAL INVESTIGATION
A
Concrete Columns can make a space feel heavy and give a sense of authority, in this office space the heavy column is contrasted by a colorful directory painted on.
White painted brick with a graphic mural.
B
Vibrant furniture pieces gives the space a playful tone alongside the concrete column, flooring and exposed ceiling and wood features.
Polished Concrete flooring maintains the industrial feel but with a slight refinement of materiality.
D
C Raw material usage like this natural wood wall divider gives a warm tone to the space.
E
An exposed ceiling with pipes and HVAC add into the sense of letting the space become “vulnerable� by showing the innerworkings of it.

3 PILLARS OF SUSTAINABILITY: Project Integration The 3 Pillars of Sustainability must be highlighted, utilized and integrated within the center, which includes Environmental Protection, Cultural and Economic Development. Methodology Various strategies that incorporate a series of systems that can allow for the Diversity Center to become self-sufficient is reflective of the overall nature of the project, the system can target solar and electrical alternatives, rain-water collection systems, green roofs for cooling and other methods. See diagram(s) for more information.
CREDITS: http://www.goodarchitecture.com/ sustainability.html While the 3 pillars must be thoughtfully designed for, the emphasis on environmental conditions is greater, an environmental emphasis can be achieved through analysis and integration of: SOLAR WIND RAIN/WATER and other environmental elements

Program Requirements|3 PILLARS OF SUSTAINABILITY
ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS: Examples to Use Solar Systems: + Solar Shading: Solar shading is to have control over solar exposure in a given space. (louvers) + Photovoltaic: Photovoltaics is the process of which solar radiation is turned into electrical energy through Solar Cells. Examples are Solar Panels + Passive Solar: Passive Solar is a design strategy that uses the sun’s radiation to control the heating and cooling of a space through choice of form, material, and location. (windows being on the north or south side of a space) Wind Systems: + Wind Turbine: Wind turbine uses the wind to rotate blades that in turn rotates a generator that produces electricity. Examples are Horizontal axis Turbines seen on wind farms. + Passive Air Ventilation: Strategy of having openings that can access the coming winds and breezes that can cool a space by moving the hot air away Water Systems: + Porous Pavers: These can be Pavers or concrete that has large air spaces similar to a sponge that allows water to pass through it into the earth underneath for a dry surface, watering of tree roots, and avoiding flash floods + Water Heating & Cooling: Water can be stored than heated by the sun if put inside a tank with material that heats the water inside. Cooling can be done by storing the water in an insulated space the sun can’t reach. + Water Collection: Collecting water can be done by directing the water into a storage unit like a tank to be used and treated later. + Water Treatment: Water filter systems. Live Systems: + Green Roof: Can turn a roof into a habitable space, even if not used for that the roof creates low cost natural insulation, cost effective drainage, and promotes natural green spaces. Reduces heat entrapment. + Greenery: Trees can create shading and cooling during certain seasons + Compost: Instead of throwing away everything, organic material can be turned into compost to be used in a garden, greenery, and so on. This saves on total waste generated. + Walking: Pavers that are designed to collect the movement energy from people can be placed and used to generate energy to a large battery or to power a local system like a light. + Parking: Parking for bicycles, scooters, and electric vehicles promotes these systems to increase rather than IEC vehicles. Examples are Chargers for electric vehicles, bikes, and more.

Identity| IDENTIFIABLE SIGNATURE
What is a signature? In order to show representation of the 3 organizations being housed here in addition to the Diversity Center itself, an identifiable signature must be included. Integration The signature must be developed and integrated within the building system as a facade, tower, or scultpure that encompases the overall personality of the Diversity Center. The ideal location for this signature is at the corner of the site in order to present itself as a landmark and must be integrated thoughtfully.
