Having had the privilege of working with Perkins + Will for nine months last year, I know them very well and I completely respect and admire their work. They are at the very forefront of sustainable design in the US. I also couldn't be more delighted for Ryan Gravel. This project has been his life for a decade now. He truly deserves this. James Corner Field Operations is a great choice for project design partner. Their design on the New York High Line is a wonderful model for integrating industrial infrastructure into the public realm. My congratulations go out to the Atlanta Beltline Partnership, as well as to all the people who have advocated and volunteered their time to help bring the Beltline to reality. The selection of the designer is a significant milepost in bringing a project to fruition. I’m expecting wonderful things for the Beltline and the City of Atlanta. This is great news, Maria!
