New Edge Center renderings

[GaTech'06]

Per J's email today it looks like renderings for the Edge building have been updated (new Student-Athlete Performance Center). They look much improved and more of a timeless design (link to message: https://ramblinwreck.com/from-the-desk-of-j-batt-sept2023/)

The old one for comparison. Personally, I like the change.

I think this was the latest rendering

Wow, it's really gone through some massive changes.

It'd be cool to see the updated in-stadium rendering.

It flows so much better with the stadium/surrounding campus. The old one was just an eye sore. Kinda tired of the new “modern all glass and boring architecture” fad.

Looks nice! Does the stadium already have red brick incorporated?

Clyde would like the changes as well, right @ClydeBrick ?

Looks like we got the Tud out of the design.

Moar bricks!


This would please ol' Clyde Robbins; tearing up something and replacing it with almost the same thing except this time with bricks.

Not a fan at all. The massing is completely ööööed. It doesn't have to be a glass box, but the treatment of the brick leaves a significant amount to be desired. The glass boxes/massing on the upper floors towards the north lacks any cohesiveness - the flat roof fascia doesn't help. Also, if you're going to use stone to accentuate an entry, make it bigger than some 10x10 entry and don't limit that material to a small corner of the design. I will applaud them for only using 3 materials.

Well, we all know where you went to college.

I don’t think that’s an entrance. It looks like corner alcoves for statues. Maybe Heisman and Dodd.
