Located in historic Sweet Auburn, 'the birthplace of the civil rights movement', the Sweet Auburn Cultural Center stands as a monumental reflector that captures and celebrates its history and spirit, expressing the civil rights movement as one that globally spread through the sound and movement of people. At the center of the project is the auditorium, the voice. A radial composition architecturally undulates the sound and movement of the ideals emitted from the auditorium. These ideals live on as the visitors carry them as they leave the building continuing the movement. There is also a visual connection to the Atlanta skyline that symbolically spreads the ideals to the city. The movement is experienced by every individual who enters and exists the building through a guided procession orchestrated by the building.
