The Integral Project: Rising out of the Ashes of the Former Doraville GM Plant 

Stanton Eckstut, FAIA

Masterplan Architect for Integral

The General Motors Plant in Doraville is being redeveloped and we have invited the developer to speak to our group about the project and it's impact on the I-285/Peachtree Industrial Boulevard corridor. Stanton Eckstut, Masterplan Architect for the project is Senior Principal at EE&K Architects in New York and will share the vision for this game-changing development on the Perimeter.

Stan Eckstut, EE&K’s senior principal, has an international reputation as an innovator and leader in large-scale architecture extending going back over thirty years to his pioneering work designing the master plan for Battery Park City. Stan’s singular understanding of architecture as a practice that creates and sustains the public realm is evident in all his designs, from large-scale waterfront developments and intermodal transportation hubs to campuses, schools, and even prototypes for bus shelters. In each case, his work has strengthened the urban fabric by creating new centers of social and civic activity; as he points out, “even my smallest buildings are about being part of a larger community.” A pragmatic visionary, Stan’s creative exploration of the possibilities of place is tempered by his keen sense of market and political realities.
