There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Full Summary: Translations from Knowledge to Building – The Impacts of Architectural Research on Practice
Doctoral SymposiumThe inauguration of the Georgia Tech School of Architecture Doctoral Student Symposium is intended to identify critical intersections between research and design to inform and guide our future directions. New enabling and end-product technologies and the increasing sophistication of clients are being addressed by the growth of fundamental and translational research in design. This creates new opportunities and places new demands for the creation of an architecture that better represents and serves society and supports human well-being. The symposium is structured around distinct themes which resonate with major emphases of research and scholarship in our School: high performance buildings, design computation, evidence based design. The symposium aims to generate a focused and intense conversation with contributions from across the diverse fields of inquiry that animate the intellectual life of the School and the professional community. In this way, we hope to place in the foreground the creative tensions between rigor and imagination, research and design that are at the core of the School’s pursuit of innovation and integrity in architecture.
