Abstract
A graduate level urban design studio with projects located along the edge of Interstate 75-85, the Atlanta Downtown Connector. The studio first examined historical incidental infrastructure examples in cities around the world (Spanish Steps in Rome, Victoria Embankment in London, Ponte Vecchio in Florence, etc.). Then sites for design of urban and architectural retrofits/ were identified along the edge of the 12-lane Downtown Connector in Atlanta. The intention was to “urbanize” the Connector with multiple new projects along each side of the highway.
