About Defining Skylines: John Portman and the Architectural Evolution of Downtown Atlanta

This event is part of the Georgia Tech Library’s exhibit, Defining Skylines: John Portman and the Architectural Evolution of Downtown Atlanta, now on display in Price Gilbert’s first floor gallery through December.

A proud Georgia Tech alumnus, Portman reshaped the city’s skyline with his innovative designs, including the groundbreaking Hyatt Regency and Peachtree Center. 

This exhibit offers an exclusive look into Portman’s creative process, architectural achievements, and lasting influence on urban design featuring artifacts from both the Georgia Tech Archives & Special Collections and the Portman Archives.

Explore how Portman’s connection to Georgia Tech helped shape his remarkable career and continues to inspire future generations of architects and designers. 

We invite the Atlanta community to join us in celebrating the enduring legacy of one of Atlanta’s most influential figures.
