#19 - JW Robinson - 10-24-14 - Citizen Architect #3



Weather it's John Busby's involvement in efforts to save the Fox Theater or JW Robinson's pioneering work as an educator, architect, and community leader, one of the guiding theses behind this podcast is that many of the best parts of Atlanta, both physically and culturally, owe their existence to architects, and that these stories need to be told.

In this latest episode of our Citizen Architect sub-series, Nathan Koskovich, AIA sits down with Jeffery Robinson, AIA, principal of JW Robinson & Associates to talk about his father and founder of JW Robinson, Joseph Robinson Sr., FAIA. JW Robinson was one of the first African American Architects in the state of Georgia and the first to be recognized as a Fellow of the AIA for his contributions to the profession and to the city of Atlanta.
