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

Frank Harmon, FAIA, principal of the award-winning firm Frank Harmon Architect in Raleigh, NC, and a Professor in Practice in Architecture at N.C. State University's College of Design, will discuss the evolution of modern architecture in the South. Using his own work as examples, he will examine the elements and themes that inform contemporary Southern architecture—landscape; materials and construction (the “sticks and stones” of a place); weather and climate; roof forms that shelter or collect; and clients—and illustrate the importance of “place” in the process of creating innovative, sustainable, and appropriate contemporary design.
