Density | MMPT, Gulch, Atlanta, GA

Atlanta is anticipating a 2M people growth over the next twenty years. This growth can be accomodated over highrise buildings in the center of its core or it can be dispersed in over a larger area of low rise, crawling mat buildings over the exsiign networks as well as in close proximity to the interstates prividing new opportunities for urban morphologies. These new sites can restructure the urban fabric of Atlanta both at its interstate intersections as well as in its central core once full of transfer stations for the trains and nowadays a void, empty space with no function ir identity. The project proposes a vast injection into downtown Atlanta that features organizational rigor and iconographic markings. The site is the Gulch and the program is connected to the systems and stations of the Multi-Modal Passenger Terminal. The different networks of program, pedestrian, vehicular, Marta bus, taxi, Greyhound bus, GRTA bus, Amtrak feeder bus, metro, Amtrak rail, Georgia commuter rail, are all intertwined, each keeping its identity and still combined spatially in a crawling urban mat mega-structure.
