Project Description
Design of a new home for the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, featuring a concert hall, studio hall, learning center, full back-of-house facilities and public amenities. The design must
provide a level of acoustical quality, technological support and architectural distinction worthy of the Orchestra’s renowned standing;
establish an important civic, economic and social resource in Midtown Atlanta, as part of the expansion of the campus of the Woodruff Arts Center, and for the City of Atlanta; and
create an exciting, modern symbol of the State of Georgia: a “postcard” image recognized around the world.
