Tech Square Idea Store

Media Center for Georgia Tech's New Midtown Campus

Instructor: Michael Gamble, 2008.

The  “idea store” is similar to a traditional library but with an emphasis on technology and media.  The program includes stacks, classrooms, an auditorium, computer labs, and a cafe.  The project occupies approximately 20,000 square feet.  The design incorporates a ramped, intensive green roof with large trees reflecting the column grid below.  The roof is accessible to the public from street level.  The site is a parcel currently used for parking in Tech Square, Georgia Tech’s recent expansion in midtown Atlanta.

Drawings are AutoCAD with Illustrator post-processing, or graphite on vellum.
