IN THIS WEEK’S FRIDAY5

A few months ago, we shared Architectural Records’ Top 300 list of architecture firms, but this week, we’re taking a closer look at our local market. Based on gross architectural revenue for 2018, Atlanta Business Chronicle has ranked the metro area’s Top 25 architecture firms. Ranked first is Cooper Cary Inc. with 99 registered architects in Atlanta, followed by NELSON Worldwide, and tvsdesign. You can see the complete list by clicking below and congratulations to all of the firms recognized in this year’s ranking.

Location: Washington, DC
Product: larson FR (MCM), Stainless Steel, Louvers
General Contractor: Clark Construction
Architect: Gensler

The original building on the corner of 17th and L Street, which was constructed in 1974, was demolished to accommodate a new, 12-story office building located in Washington DC’s Central Business District. The 154,000 square-foot project will feature ground floor retail, four stories of below-grade parking, in addition to amenities like a fitness center and rooftop terrace. Set to open this summer, MillerClapperton is fabricating and installing more than 10,000 square feet of Metal Composite Material and more than 4,000 square feet of Stainless Steel, plus architectural louvers.

MillerClapperton Cares, a charitable initiative we started last year, has selected a new charitable partner to close out 2019. We considered many worthwhile organizations and we’re delighted to have selected Calvary Children’s Home who are serving a critical need in the community and making an impact in the lives of children. Our goal is to raise $7,500 for expenses, as well as their scholarship fund, which supports children who continue school with a post-secondary education. We invite you to learn more about Calvary and all of the ways you can help by clicking below.

There is no doubt that technology is transforming architecture and design, and there is no better example of this than the new Kendeda Building on the Georgia Tech campus. Technology is not only transforming the way architects design buildings, but also how they work with clients and even contractors, as was demonstrated throughout all phases of the project’s life cycle. The design team was able to take advantage of sophisticated tools and technology throughout the design and build, which are typically more costly upfront, but also reduce mistakes and change orders later.

Recommendation: Creative Conversation

Fast Company released a new podcast at the end of last year called Creative Conversation. The episodes feature Editor Kc Ifeyani and in-depth explorations of the creative process with some of the most innovative thinkers across film, TV, music, and beyond. After one year, there are 30 episodes to choose from, each about 30 minutes in length, and covering topics from boosting creativity to improvisation and interviews with the likes of Killer Mike, Amanda Seales, and Mo Rocca. If you are looking for a burst of creative inspiration in the midst of the holiday chaos, we recommend you give it a listen!
