IN THIS WEEK’S FRIDAY5

The city we call home, Atlanta, (aka Terminus) was founded in 1837 and has since become a thriving metropolis and one of the country’s fastest growing cities. Considered the capital of the Southeast, the city is home to many notable projects designed by such luminaries as Philip Johnson, I. M. Pei, and Marcel Breuer, who have collectively reshaped the city’s profile. What did our city look like in the early days? Take a journey back in time with a collection of images from the AJC that showcase Atlanta’s buildings and skyline from 1905 – 1929. And, if you are looking for something to do this weekend, you can tour the city’s historic downtown by taking a guided architecture audio tour, created by the Atlanta Chapter of the American Institute of Architects. Learn more about the tour here.

Based on data from over 11,000 construction projects nationwide, a data and analytics company has found that 10 US states account for nearly 60% of the total construction project pipeline valued at $3.7 trillion. The latest report reveals that California, Texas, and New York are among the states with the highest value of construction projects in the pipeline, with 1,302 projects worth $524 billion in California alone. Also booming across many US states are new mixed-used developments.

You may have already heard, or figured this out on your own – people who spend two hours in nature each week are significantly more likely to report better health and well-being than those who spend less time outside. Studies report several health benefits of spending time in nature, including reduced depression and anxiety, lower blood pressure, and even boosted creativity and cognitive abilities. More isn’t necessarily better as effects peak at about 200-300 total minutes outside.
