<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Georgia
Tech enjoys an international reputation. It sends students out into the world
to study and it attracts students from around the world to Atlanta. Associate
Professor Mark Cottle curated the Three Euros Symposium at Georgia Tech earlier
this year, in which three international alumni of Georgia Tech, Daniel Cavelti
('97) of Switzerland, Thorsten Kock ('95) of Germany, and Xavier Wrona ('02) of
France, gave an audience of Tech students and local architects an inside look
at European practice. Nathan Koskovich, AIA sat down with them just before they
left for home to discuss European practice, how it differs from American practice,
and what you learn about your own country when you travel abroad.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The work of Daniel's
r office is based on the interaction of theoretical interests and designing
practice. He looks for a realistic attitude, whose characteristics are
relevance, immediacy, complexity and suitability for life. The work includes
all areas - from urban planning issues to concrete implementations into built
substance.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">His
architecture projects aim at an intense dialogue with the context. He implements
objects that operate in a multilayered manner within their surroundings. In
this way, he achieves a self-evidence, that plays back pleasantly and inspiringly
to the environment.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">He is
interested in a variety of construction projects and in different scales. His
projects vary from small interventions into existing substance to the design of
entire city districts.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Participation
in various competitions has allowed him to sharpen the discipline of design in
order to use it again in the realization of buildings. A careful treatment of
the natural and built environment is for him self-evident.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt;">One
of the interesting things that happens when you are designing a building, or
anything else, is that you start to see connections that you never new existed.
You find meaning in things that you thought were meaningless. While a college
course tittled "Minimal Art and Architecture" may at first appear to
be one of those useless college courses educational reformers complain about, Georgia
Tech's Charles Rudolph reveals in this conversation with Nathan Koskvich, AIA,
that minimal art can teach architects many practical, as well as esoteric, lessons.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm putting some personal photographs of two Mies van der Rhoe projects in the post because he's great, but also because Mies, like a good minimal artist, thought about every aspect of a material when he included it in a design. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First the Barcelona Pavilion, officially known as the German Pavilion at the 1929 Worlds Fair. The building is full of these strange symmetries which are doubled by Mies' use of the reflective properties of stone, glass and water. Glass is translucent or dull and opaque depending on its relationship to the roof overhang. Built up on a plinth, the whole building gave me a strange feeling of floating. </span></div>

Mies moved away from cruciform columns and began to explore the possibilities of American standard steel shapes. Its most evident in his use of wide flange, and "C" channel steel pieces in the buildings frame, but he also built up the smaller elements, such as the window frames, from standard steel shapes.</span></div>

<span lang="EN"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Charles Rudolph is an architect and associate professor
who began teaching at Georgia Tech in 1993. He moved to Atlanta from New York
City, where he worked in the offices of Peter M. Wheelwright and Pei, Cobb,
Freed and Partners. Rudolph's experience at Pei, Cobb, Freed included working
with partner Michael Flynn, the firm's curtain wall specialist. Rudolph received a MS in Building Design from
Columbia in 1989 (studying under Kenneth Frampton) and teaches courses in
construction technology and seminars that focus on the current status of <i>tectonics</i> in contemporary architecture
and building culture. Currently, his
research explores materiality and tectonics in the context of design studios
focused on integrating alternative energy technology (bio-fuel from harvested
algae / waste stream management) in the design of high-density urban
housing. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt;">
<span lang="EN">During his undergraduate years at Rice University, Rudolph
studied painting and art history, and continues to explore relationships
between architecture, the visual arts, and contemporary aesthetic theory. He has taught a seminar titled "<em>Minimal Art and Architecture</em>"
and has written on minimal art's '<em>phenomenological
practice</em>' –specifically its influence on the making and perceiving
of place in the contemporary city and landscape. Other research interests are in the area of
design-for-communities and adaptive reuse in the transitioning neighborhoods of
Atlanta. Since the Olympic year of 1996, Rudolph has conducted several studios
that engage community groups and design centers in the visioning of empty
schools, abandoned lots and underused parks in historic communities bordering
downtown Atlanta</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;">Adam
Smith and Lisa Sauve are founders and principals of <a href="http://www.synecdochedesign.com/about/">Synechdoche</a>, a design firm
in Ann Arbor Michigan. They describe their practice as "design/make".
One of their earlier projects was a temporary installation in Atlanta. Nathan
Koskovich, AIA called them up to find out what they've been up to recently,
what's behind the name "Synechdoche", and exactly what they mean by
"design/Make"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After meeting in undergraduate design studios and
collaborating on projects, Synecdoche was launched in 2009 while graduating
from LTU. Throughout grad school, teaching, and working with other designers,
Synecdoche slowly tooled up. In 2015 Synecdoche found roots north of Downtown
Ann Arbor and has a growing team of designers and makers.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Synecdoche (pronounced si-nek-duh-kee) is imagined as a
make/work architecture studio exploring material constructions, their
narratives, and the resulting environments they create. As a small practice we
work in a fast and nimble environment as an effective production technique.
Architecture creates opportunities to work in multiple scales within the same
discipline. Our belief is that tangibles and experience are simultaneous design
problems. We work to invent a design office model that works for personalities,
lifestyle and play.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Scott Marble is the new Chair of Georgia Tech's College of Architecture. He doesn't just think about architecture as space making and form giving, though he certainly doesn't ignore that. A lot of his current thought has been focused on the industry architects operate within and how emerging technologies give architects and other designers the opportunity to reshape how the design and construction industry work, and thus bring better design into a wider world. Between Georgia Tech's robust research efforts and Atlanta's strong tradition of reshaping the architecture profession, counting such architects as George Heery and John Portman among its members, Scott seems to have found a good fit.</span><br />

The first two hundred seats were gone almost before we posted the event. We found a second venue that was twice as big and it sold out even faster, and we had a waiting list of 1,000 people who just wanted to hear people talk about design. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Atlanta needs great urban design to attract the best and brightest, remain a global business center, and grow as a center for culture and innovation. With great design, we can develop buildings, infrastructure and communities for better place to work and live. The Architecture and Design Center (ADC) is working to be Atlanta’s design champion.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">ADC believes that the practice of design is a fundamental part of creating a healthy world. Before we can make anything, we first have design it. We can design well and make our cities and towns healthy, convenient, and beautiful, or we can design poorly and make them, inefficient, ugly, even sickly. I know many of you share this belief in design. I know that your belief is based in your understanding of the power of design.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dr. Tony Rizzuto never had any intention of becoming an
academic. He grew up wanting to be a practicing architect, but his professors
noticed "he talked a lot" in class, and evidently liking what they
heard, encouraged him to become a teacher. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As Chair of Kennesaw State University's Department of
Architecture, Tony has an unique ability to connect architectural history and
theory to the challenges of modern architectural practice in a way that helps
students understand the value of architecture education. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of the challenges of training architects that Tony and
the rest of the faculty face is making students awareness of architecture. It's not that
students have no experience with buildings, but that they have so much experience
and have thought so very little about them.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That's why Kennesaw State students begin their education by
simply observing and recording public spaces: how people move and react to space, how
spaces change over time, the latent potential of space, and the physical characteristics of spaces.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For anyone interested in impacting and changing the
buildings, neighborhoods, cities, and communities we live in, a good place to
start is simply observing how people and spaces actually interact. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lots of names, lots of links this time. Peruse and I think it will be worth your wild. You'll learn a little about high theory, and a little about all the work it takes to become an architect. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ryan Gravel is known mostly for one idea he had in grad
school. A one of a kind idea that somehow captured the attention of a city that
typically doesn't embrace bold, homegrown ideas. Atlanta prefers well tested
ideas, especially if they are imported from some recognized center of international
thinkiness. But Ryan Gravel has more ideas than just the Atlanta Beltline, and his
new practice Sixpitch, "casts a wide net" to incorporate abroad range
of tools and modes of operation in order to bring those ideas to life in as
many places as possible.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ryan sat down with Nathan Koskovich, AIA talk about how
cities become what they are. How we impact them and how they in turn impact us.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ryan Gravel, AICP, LEED AP, is an urban planner, designer,
and author working on site design, infrastructure, concept development, and
public policy as the founding principal at Sixpitch. His master’s thesis in
1999 was the original vision for the Atlanta Beltline, a 22-mile transit
greenway that after fifteen years of work and collaboration is changing both
the physical form of his city and the decisions people make about living there.
Alongside other projects at Sixpitch and research on similar “catalyst
infrastructure” projects around the world, Ryan’s forthcoming book, “Where We
Want to Live,” (St Martin’s Press; March, 2016), investigates this cultural
side of infrastructure, describing how its intimate relationship with our way
of life can illuminate a brighter path forward for cities.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #f2f2f2; color: #333333; line-height: 19.6000003814697px;">Most people don't know what the Negro Building was or the huge role it played in the shaping African American Culture, Atlanta, and America. It is in many ways the seed from which the Civil Rights movement flowered three quarters of century later. Its an excellent example of how space can be designed with a latent power which citizens can harness in order to advocate for their rights. </span>Richard Dagenhart, along with Mable Wilson, Annabelle Jean-Laurent, and other's want to change that through the Negro Building Remembrance Competition. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ADC is very proud and honored to be a sponsor along with the <a href="http://www.arch.gatech.edu/">Georgia Tech School of Architecture</a>, The <a href="http://nomaatlanta.org/">National Association of Minority Architects</a>, and the <a href="https://www.civilandhumanrights.org/">Center for Civil and Human Rights</a>. Richard Dagenhart explains more about the competition and the history of the Negro Building in this installment of Shoptalk. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If your interested in getting involved the competition committee is still looking for support. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oh, and submit your ideas!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also, Sorry for the sound quality. The acoustics in the "New" architecture building are terrible, and they would not stop blowing leaves.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The lesson? In order to build meaningful buildings,
buildings that fulfill the promise of design helping to create a better world,
buildings must be placed in a meaningful context. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ellen Dunham-Jones

Solutions for Redesigning Suburbs</i> (Wiley & Sons, 2009, updated
paperback edition in 2011, mandarin translation in 2013). The book’s documentation
of successful retrofits of vacant big box stores, dead and thriving malls, and
aging office parks into more sustainable places has received significant media
attention in <i>The</i> <i>New York Times, PBS, NPR, Harvard Business Review, Urban Land,
Planning, Architectural Record</i> and other venues. The book received the PROSE
award from the American Association of Publishers as best architecture/urban
planning book of 2009, was featured in <i>Time
Magazine’s</i> March 23, 2009 cover story, “10 ideas changing the world right

Good news everybody!<br />
<br />
Together the ADC, Georgia and Atlanta chapters of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and Georgia Tech have initiated the Regional Archive Program. These groups have realized the pressing need to create an expanded archive of significant architecture and other design documents and objects in order to record the culture and history of architecture and related fields in Georgia. The archive will afford opportunity for research and for the organization of exhibits, lectures and other activities centered around the collection.<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://www.calendar.gatech.edu/event/394611">Peachtree Way</a> exhibit opens May 7th and runs through May 27th. This is the first fruit of a partnership between ADC, the Georgia Tech Library, AIA Atlanta and AIA Georgia to promote Georgia's design heritage through expanding the efforts made to identify and preserve important archival documents. I encourage all of you to check out the great documents and amazing architecture on display at Georgia Tech's College of Architecture Stubbins Gallery. That's in the "old" architecture building above the auditorium for all of you Tech people out there.<br />
<br />
We hope this excites you as much as it does us, and if it does, please reach out to us to volunteer or contribute. You can reach me at nathan@koskovicharchitecture.com.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">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.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">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.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Young Architect's Forum, a Program of AIA Atlanta, is
one of the most dynamic and energetic architecture organizations in the City of
Atlanta. Among their great programs is the 48hr Design Competition in which competitors
enter without knowing the design challenge and have to come up with a solution
within 48 hours. In this episode Nathan Koskovich, AIA talks with Nick Kahler,
a YAF member who ran the competition, and Max Kovtoun, winner of this year's
48hr Competition.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Design is inherently collaborative. Designers need clients who
need our expertise. We also need others to help us realize designs, builders
and other designers. We don't have complete control over the projects we work
on and the people we work with. This means in order to produce the best designs
possible designers have to be able to bend themselves to the situation and find
the limits and possibilities inherent in the projects we have and not try and
turn them into the projects we want.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Gabriel Richard is an architect who sees architecture not in
terms of projects and buildings, but instead in terms of expert services. He
sees himself as a keeper of a process that delivers quality design. His goal on
each project is not to deliver a world renown design, but to do honor to the
clients goals by providing the services that translates the client's goals and
needs into a form which can be permitted and built and which represents the
client well. The surprise of this approach is that it leads to the best design
possible while not raising the architect's agenda above that of the client's.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Gabe is also a busy father of two. This interview was
recorded at his house and his son Mason makes several surprise interjections. We
like to think of it as texture that emphasizes that architects are real people
who live in the real world.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Gabe was born in Thibodaux, Louisiana in
1973. Moved to the big city of Marietta, GA as a teenager. Then
went to Southern Poly to get a degree as a requirement for Officers Candidate
School while in the Marine Reserves. Turns out I liked Architecture
School better than the Marines. Went to Columbia University, and got a
Master of Science in Architecture and Urban Design. Since then I have
mostly focused on Architecture, with very little Urban Planning. Revit has been
a major factor in my success, but I still sketch when it's convenient. Revit

I envision this series as a record of architects whose careers are rooted in the mid 60's. This generation had a tremendous impact on Atlanta's development through not only their practice, but also through their community engagement. In many ways the best of what Atlanta is, both physically and culturally, owes a lot to this generation of citizen architects. In addition to being a founding partner of Jova/Daniels/Busby, Stanley was a leader of, and continues to be engaged with, the American Institute of Architects, and played an important role in founding the Architecture Foundation of Georgia.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As a side note, Stanley's house is a lovely modern little building situated on wooden lot on the edge of Atlanta. Stanley designed the house. Its one of many hoses designed by architects I've visited. The homes of Atlanta architects are a wonderful legacy in and of themselves. Even when they struggled to find clients with modern sensibilities, their homes allowed them to stretch and develop personal modern design approaches. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Stanley Daniels attended Emory University before graduating from Georgia Tech with a Bachelor of Architecture. Afterwards he studied in France at the Ecole des Beaux Artes Fontainebleu. He worked for David O. Savini, AIA, and John Portman Associates before founding his own firm with Henri Jova and John Busby. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Jova/Daniels/Busby (JDB) developed a reputation for strong design and well conceived projects.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Central to an architect's, or any designer's, job is solving
complex problems. It's not possible to solve these problems through analytical
methods, so Architects have come up with multiple subjective, or intuitive,
ways of solving them. One of which is to simply draw on experience. "Well
in the past, in a similar situation, this worked. Let's try it again and see
what happens." </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Where experience fails, architects can fall back on precedence.
The work of others in similar situations. Throughout the centuries architects
find themselves over and over again going back to certain buildings by certain
architects. These architects and these works form a set of building blocks from
which each architect can build his or her own design philosophy. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They also form the basis of a sort of short hand architects
use when talking to each other. They might say, "It's very Mesian, or
Wrightean" or "It's very Bauhaus" </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To hopefully help listeners understand what we are talking
about when this happens, David Rader and I are going to undertake a special
sub-series in which we look at a survey of important architects and works that
make up the mental background of most modern architecture practices. It's not
an exhaustive survey. It's a bare- essentials for anyone who wants to be
relatively fluent in architect-ese. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">From time to time David and I will look at a well known
building by a well known architect that still has a major space in architecture
culture. Where possible we'll look at a building David and/or I have been to in
person because no matter how much you study a building, seeing it in person is
always surprising. We'll cover the people involved, the Architect and the
Client. The reason the building was built and a little about the times in which
the building was built. We'll go over some of the distinct, unique, and
influential elements of the building or work. and we'll wrap up with why the
building is important and give our own critique of the building. There's a lot
to be gained by tearing down giants, or at least chipping away at them.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nathan Koskovich, AIA, talks with Graphic Designer and
Printer Lennie Mowris at her studio and workshop. Lennie's work in letterpress
illustrates the power of details in design. How small things, like how ink
finds its way on to paper, affect our understanding of an image, and of the
brand it represents. For her working in letterpress is not a nostalgic quirky whim,
but a means to achieving certain design goals.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lennie combines more than ten years experience in the
natural health industry with a passion for merging tradition and innovation.
Through her independent studio, Lenspeace, she specializes in sustainable
design and brand strategy for small business, non-profit organizations,
artisans and individuals. Her Decatur-based printmaking workshop features two
vintage letterpresses and screen printing services for production of custom
brand collateral and unique dimensional art. As AIGA Atlanta Affinity
Programming Director, she develops educational and collaborative programming
focused on The Living Principles for Design, Women's Leadership and Diversity,
and Design For Good initiatives.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nathan Koskovich, AIA sits down with John A. Busby, Jr. FAIA. John Busby is a member of a generation of architects who built Atlanta from a provincial state capital into a dynamic city at the center of the country's ninth largest metropolitan area. Like many architects of his generation, John impacted the city not just through his professional practice but also through engagement with the community. John is a Citizen-Architect, something we should all aspire to.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the
1960s, Busby began working on various small commissions with Stanley Daniels, a
former classmate at Georgia Tech. At the same time, Henri Jova moved to Atlanta
from New York, where he had been a designer with Harrison and Abramovitz. Jova
moved to downtown Atlanta and began encouraging others to do so to stimulate
neighborhood renewal in the city. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Busby
purchased his first home in Jova’s neighborhood; other architects followed, and
the urban renewal movement in Atlanta gained momentum. In 1966, Jova, Daniels,
and Busby established an architecture and interior design practice,
Jova/Daniels/Busby, and opened an office in Atlanta. J/D/B designed Colony
Square, which was Atlanta’s first mixed-use development. When the firm was
established, the partners set a retirement age, and Busby retired from the firm
in 1999 with 39 years of active practice.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In 2001,
Busby was invited to become an adjunct professor of architecture at Southern
Polytechnic State University, Marietta, Ga. In 2002, he became chair of the
Advisory Committee and served in that capacity until 2010, making significant
contributions to improving the five-year accredited program.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">John Busby
was born in Charleston, S.C., in 1933. His father was in the U.S. Navy, and the
family lived in California before settling in Macon, Ga. With strong
encouragement from his father, Busby entered the Georgia Institute of
Technology in 1952, the first person on his father’s side to go to college. He
worked construction during summer breaks. In 1960, Busby married Mary Ann Cross
of Sunbury, N.C. They have two daughters, Clarissa and Julia, whom they raised
in the house on Plymouth Road in Atlanta where they still live. The house was
designed by Georgia’s first female registered architect, Leila Wilburn (ca.
1939). </span></div>
