Atlanta, Georgia’s Diverse Architecture

Atlanta, Georgia’s Diverse Architecture

Comments 1 comment

Atlanta has so much diverse architecture. Go from soaring skyscrapers to uniquely shaped and angled buildings. You’ll find every type of building in Atlanta. Take at look at the “King and Queen” buildings above. White lattice work resembles the heads of royal chess pieces. They are lit with different colors for special occasions.

Minimalist design is a big trend right now. So many people are decluttering. There are so many books about it. I can’t count how many times I’ve read The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up.

But this time I went to the famed Bukchon Hanok Village. It’s where all the noble families lived during the the Joseon Dynasty era of Korea. Now…
