Modern-day atrium architecture

One of the main public spaces at Federation Square, in Melbourne, Australia, is called The Atrium and is a street-like space, five storeys 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, the Opryland Hotel (not to be confused with Opryland USA) hosts 4 different large atriums, spanning 9 acres of glass ceiling in total, in the hotel above the gardens of: Delta, Cascades, Garden-Conservaties, and Magnolia.

As of 2016, the Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai, has the world's tallest atrium at 590ft (180m). The Luxor Hotel, in Las Vegas, Nevada, has the largest atrium in the world (by volume) at 29 million cubic feet (820,000 m³).
