You just never know.
That was my reaction to events last week, when I happened to be in Atlanta (also known as “the ATL”). At dinner, who did I run into? One of the world’s greatest architects (and I mean of all time) and one of Atlanta’s favorite sons, John Portman.
For those who may not know the name or that famous face, Portman is credited with developing much of Atlanta’s downtown office space, and his Peachtree Center and Embarcadero Center in San Francisco were hailed as unique reinterpretations of the modern office environment. And he’s still designing properties around the world.
All I can say is, “wow.” He’s a living legend. And now I’m more convinced than ever, it really goes to show, you just never know.
