The Peachtree Way Archival ExhibitThe image of Atlanta has long been tied to Peachtree Street.
As such, The Peachtree Way exhibit will highlight the historical and unique architectural features of the Peachtree Street Corridor from Brookwood Station to Five Points. It will feature archival drawings and models of work completed by architects associated with the Georgia Institute of Technology and practicing in the state.
In addition to archival material, the current work of Atlanta architectural firms is spotlighted through video displays.
The exhibit also emphasizes the importance of preserving archival drawings and documents with the introduction of a new program to record the rich culture and history of architecture in Georgia.
The Regional Archive Program will create an expanded archive of significant architecture, design documents, and objects. This collaborative effort between the Georgia and Atlanta chapters of the American Institute of Architects, the Architecture and Design Center, and the Georgia Institute of Technology will become a valuable resource for architects in the southeast.
