Rainbow Hues Inform Autodesk’s Innovative Office in Atlanta
The ongoing BeltLine project has become symbolic of Atlanta’s urban renewal; when finished, the former railway corridor will reconnect historically divided neighborhoods in one 22-mile loop of trails, parks, and public transportation. That was the concept Corgan took inspiration from when developing the floor plan for software behemoth Autodesk’s latest regional outpost. It’s arranged in a loop with “destinations” spread out along the way, each themed around a local landmark like Ponce City Market or the Krog Street Tunnel. Schemes were rendered in a mix of hand sketches and, of course, CAD.
Atlanta has nearly 50 percent tree coverage, so arboreal elements are everywhere, here, too, as in reception’s desk shaped like a giant trunk stump and the layered rainbow canopy with leaf graphics above it. But greening is more than just for show at this LEED Gold ID+C v4.0–certified workplace. The effort started with landing the office in a walkable neighbor- hood close to mass transit and continued into the construction phase, where more than half of all waste was diverted from landfill by either reusing or recycling it.
