Atlanta took center-stage last week when all eyes were on our hometown city for Super Bowl LIII. While thousands of visitors flocked to see the game, others came to enjoy the festivities leading up to the big event and to take advantage of what Atlanta has to offer. Despite colder than usual weather, the city lived up to its famous southern hospitality and on display were many of its architectural gems. ArchDaily compiled a list of the most notable projects and MillerClapperton is proud to have worked on several of them. |

According to the AIA’s chief economist, Kermit Baker, Hon. AIA, PhD, “the economy has been performing well recently, but trends in business confidence scores are red flags that suggest a slowdown is likely in 2020.” Read more here.
