Architecture is a complex equation of needs and desires, of balancing private interests with the public good. In every design project, in every research program, we challenge ourselves—students and faculty, architects and engineers—to account for the value of architecture, measured through design performance, in social, economic, environmental, and cultural terms. As a leading technological university, Georgia Tech has more than 100 centers focused on interdisciplinary research that consistently contribute vital research and innovation to American government, industry, and business.
