About Atlanta's Architecture & Design Center

What We Do

The Architecture & Design Center (ADC) is dedicated to the advancement of great design and urbanism in the Metropolitan Atlanta area and all of the Southeastern United States. As we grow together as a community, good design is vital to establishing a high quality of life for everyone.  Tackling difficult problems like gentrification, affordability, social justice, preservation, climate change, homelessness, and equality, the organization encourages thoughtful debate and offers a diverse collection of ideas and proposals.

By uniting disparate voices and groups, we can solve urban problems from multiple angles. The organization sponsors seminars, lectures, panel discussions, exhibitions and design competitions intended to heighten awareness of the many design issues that effect day to day urban life.  We seek to recognize Atlanta’s architects and designers and have developed a guide to the region’s diverse, sometimes under-appreciated, architectural expression.  Our Design Forum Series examines individual contributors and community efforts to solve fundamental design problems. We believe that together, we can create a better place for all of us.
