About Edwin E. Akins, II, AIA, LEED AP
Having practiced architecture for over 13 years, teaching part-time during much of that period, Ed has developed an interesting perspective on the links between practice and academia. Since 2002, he has taught at both the Georgia Institute of Technology and at Southern Polytechnic State University, where he is currently an Assistant Professor coordinating third year design studios and environmental technologies. His work with Atlanta communities to achieve Livable Centers Initiative (LCI) grants and his engagement with non-profits in the area has helped local organizations envision planning and growth strategies. Through local art installations, his architectural practice, and as the co-author and author of conference papers on reparative planning and solar accommodation in design, Ed continues to expose and explore the delicate relationship between human occupation and nature while continuing his contributions to the AIA.
