We know that design matters for everyone. The Architecture and Design Center (ADC) is Atlanta’s only community-based center advocating for better urbanism and architecture in the region. We know that design matters for our community. The ADC will work to raise the bar on design in Atlanta. That’s why I’m writing to tell you about the ADC and ask for your support. The ADC:
Is a group of individua
ls and organizations dedicated to the highest standards for architecture, landscape architecture, urban design, and urban planning. Is dedicated to organizing these individuals and providing quality information on design itself that they can use in a variety of settings. Is creating a forum through which the design and development community can interface with the general public, and
Will increase the quality of design in the community by making design more easily accessible and better understood. Structurally, ADC will be a 501(c)3 tax exempt organization, with a diverse working board that will transition into a policy board as ADC matures. ADC’s initial efforts will focus on identifying and reaching likeminded organizations and individuals who have already expressed an interest in better design. ADC will use its communication platforms to leverage its relationships with professional, cultural, and advocacy organizations to create a diverse set of quality programs and deliverables that illustrate good design and the impact it has on our communities. ADC will promote other organizations programs, co-produce and promote programs with other organizations, and develop its own programs. ADC’s brand of programing is aimed at bringing design to the community.
