A studio complex, a performing arts center, soccer stadiums, and an athletic facility bring to life this issue's arts and sports theme. Many of the projects featured in Civil Engineering are on the rather practical, utilitarian side - bridges, dams, office buildings, and the like. These structures have their own unique beauty and are vital infrastructure, for sure, but this issue, we are exploring the more "fun" side of civil engineering (at least for the end users) where entertainment meets engineering. Our journey begins in Georgia with its thriving film and television industry in "Hollywood and Peachtree." Robert L. Reid details the road to designing and building new sound-stages and other production facilities at Assembly Atlanta, a 135-acre mixed-use development situated on a brownfield site in Doraville. Described on its website as a "hub for creativity and innovation," Assembly Atlanta adds 1 million sq ft of space to the state's overall production facilities and solidifies Georgia's status as a major player in the entertainment industry. |
