Editing Atrium (architecture) (section)

==Modern-day atria==

[[Fire control]] is an important aspect of contemporary atrium design due to criticism that poorly designed atria could allow fire to spread to a building's upper stories more quickly. Another downside to incorporating an atrium is that it typically creates unused vertical space which could otherwise be occupied by additional floors.

One of the main [[public spaces]] at [[Federation Square]], in [[Melbourne]], Australia, is called [[The Atrium, Federation Square|The Atrium]] and is a street-like space, five stories high with glazed walls and roof. The structure and glazing pattern follow the system of [[fractals]] used to arrange the panels on the rest of the facades at Federation Square.

In [[Nashville, Tennessee]], U.S., the [[Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center|Opryland Hotel]] hosts 4 different large atria, spanning {{convert|9|acre|m2}} of glass ceiling in total, in the hotel above the [[garden]]s of: Delta, Cascades, Garden-Conservatories, and Magnolia.
