The Atlanta History Center project is a partial interior renovation of the existing building. The building’s exterior is addressed with the intent of maintaining a large portion of the current structure while achieving a transformation of image. The History Center fulfills a dual purpose, operating as a traditional museum and exhibit space on the mission of the Historical Society, and acting as a revenue generating event space. The current building, characterized by corridor-style circulation and partitioned rooms challenges the use of each function, creating a circulation driven by destination rather than exploration. Because of the shortcomings of the original design, the existing history center does not support the mission and revenue goals of the historical society. This project addresses this problem.
In 2009 Head of Roads Department of Georgia commissioned J.

Two Rest Stops are currently under construction and are scheduled for completion by the time the first section of the highway will be in operation in November 2011.
