Andrew Young Institute of Peace and Reconciliation and the Shin Dae-yong Global Peace Institute adjacent to the Young Institute. The domed Georgia Nobel Peace Pantheon sits on top of the SD-y building.
These buildings are situated in the southwest corner of the Honorable Rodney Mims Cook Sr Peace Park. They sit on a promontory and will command the peace park like an acropolis. The United States National Park Service has aquired Dr. Martin Luther King’s life-home (as opposed to his birth-home on the east side of the city center.) It faces the Andrew Young Institute building.
National Monuments Foundation
The National Monuments Foundation’s mission is to create beautiful self-sustaining destination landmarks of national and historical relevance, as well as Peace centers for cultural, civic and social activism for communities around the world.
The Prince of Wales’s Olympics Monument (below) and the Millennium Gate Museum (above, center) are two properties conceived, constructed, and owned by the NMF that established the NMF as a leader in the development of public spaces. The Honorable Rodney Cook, Sr. Peace Park (bottom) is nearing completion now in collaboration with the City of Atlanta and the Trust for Public Land.
The NMF is committed to classical and traditional design for urban spaces around the world, which historically can compel human beings to interrelate with each other in more peaceful ways. They have attracted the attention of leaders around the world who desire to accomplish for their capitals what the NMF has done in a variety of cities: versatile and energizing community plazas, state of the art education facilities and inspirational destinations that promote legacies of history, honor and hope.
