Social Organization Research Paper

Coca Cola, UPS, Delta Airlines, Home Depot, and more recently Mercedes Benz and Porsche are some of the top Fortune companies with headquarters in Atlanta. Using the example of the Mercedes Benz Stadium and theories and concepts of Ch. 7, please answer the following questions:

1. What was the design and architectural vision for these buildings? What were the symbols and values they stand for and intended outcomes?

2. How does technology and culture blend with the physical structure? (linking ch. 5, 6 and 7).

3. What are some notable facts about this building, who owns/ invested in the building and what is the impact on customers/ community?

(Students are welcome to write a post about other notable buildings with interesting architectural design in Atlanta, if they wish. The more the merrier:)
