History Machines: The Deviant Practice of Inhabiting Information

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2019-10-16) Kallipoliti, Lydia

The tentative term “history machine” is a medium of immersive scholarship lingering between reality and fiction, with which I examine, redesign, and reimagine archives. I see archives, not as static objects that contain historical documents, but as immersive spaces and living collections where existential ideas about world orders migrate though different architectural and spatial typologies. Contrary to a linear text, a reconfigured archive allows multiplicity, simultaneity and disruption. It allows the reader to travel between different times, places and objects of investigation, enabling multiple connections and complex affinities between themes, concepts and ideas that are not limited to a single place, era, author or type. A reconfigured archive can produce new interconnected categories out of archival boxes, a universe of multitudes that does not necessarily need to be transcribed in linear time. I see the use of history as a creative and generative medium for contemporary concerns in design education and practice; one that does not only promote public engagement with historical material, but also makes evident that in the history of ideas, discourses get recycled. Concepts emerge as allegedly new, though ideas undergo long journeys of migration from one epistemological field to another.
Living at the Intersection of Design and Analytics

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2019-10-02) Greco, Joseph ; Case, James (Jim) W. ; Kingsley, Alissa ; Mowinski, Todd ; Williams, Matthew

The Kendeda Building for Innovative Sustainable Design was born out of an ambitious partnership between The Kendeda Fund and the Georgia Institute of Technology, focused on making exemplary change in how design and technology are used to create better environmental outcomes. It is the most environmentally advanced education and research building constructed in the Southeast to date- with a specific intent for aspects of the project to be transformative, inspiring- and replicable. Designing a successful Living Building Challenge project is by definition and necessity a challenging, collaborative and integrated endeavor. The highly integrated partnership of the Design Team mirrored the Client relationship. Lord Aeck Sargent and the Miller Hull Partnership along with an innovative and experienced consulting Team developed a Design Process that combined human creativity with technical analytics in virtual lockstep from beginning to end. The lecture will chronical the process and path used to design the facility where Georgia Tech will lead, educate and transform thought in the area of ecology and regenerative buildings. Further, the building itself is designed to inspire research and create aspects of replicability for other building owners, designers and constructors in the Southeast. The design process itself can serve as a roadmap for future Living Buildings. The Kendeda Building is designed for place, climate, culture and the diverse programmatic needs of a broad interdisciplinary set of users. It is designed to seamlessly integrate into and enhance the Eco Commons. The process of design for site and landscape, daylighting, waste water treatment strategies, active/passive approaches to solar, urban agriculture, integrated building mechanical systems, building structure, interior materials and cladding choices- with embodied carbon, health, equity and the human condition all as considerations- will be chronicled.
European Stories: European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture - Mies van der Rohe Award

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2019-08-28) Blasi, Ivan

The EU Mies van der Rohe Award was launched in 1988 and for over 30 years has created a network that has scanned and interpreted the construction of the European territory. This space is composed of an emulsion of natural and cultural, vernacular and canonical, traditional and artificial elements. Contemporary architecture must assume this ambiguity, project it towards the future and offset the natural wear to which forms are subject by means of a symmetrical process of innovation. The nearly 4.000 works of the archive, created since the inception of the EU Mies Award, contribute a new inflection or added value to the European territory and the results of the 2019 cycle highlight this attitude. The lecture presents this network of people, institutions and companies and the works chosen by a prestigious jury formed by architects, curators, journalists and clients. The lecture is complemented with the exhibition in the Stubbins Gallery.
Navigating the Art and Science of the Landscape

( 2019-03-06) Kim, Mikyoung

Mikyoung Kim shares the work of the Mikyoung Kim Design firm and their research and development of landscapes that focus on environmental and physiological health and well being in the public realm in a lecture titled, "Navigating the Art & Science of the Landscape." She will discuss the scientific research that shapes their interest in human centered design and the way that pressing hydrological issues that face our cities have become a foundational issue in all their work.

Culture in Architecture: An Expression of Values

( 2019-02-27) Howard, Zena

Zena Howard sees the built environment as an expression of human understanding and our collective values. As a key leader in Perkins+Will’s cultural practice, she will share how she has used the power of design to engage disenfranchised communities, unite disparate parties, and infuse cultural meaning into projects from national icons to urban landscapes.
What Could Go Wrong?

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2019-01-16) Buntrock, Dana

Architects, especially those who are interested in becoming the field's intellectual leaders, love to explore the artistic possibilities of rule breaking approaches. The clever ones find ways to introduce new materials into our vocabulary or create audacious examples that inspire others. What could go wrong? Much to the surprise of many in our idealistic community, the answers are disturbing.
The Carbon Positive City: Building in the Bio-Economy

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2018-11-07) Organschi, Alan

The contemporary mid- and high-rise city is constructed with mineral-based materials that are extracted, smelted, sintered, or synthesized through intensive fossil-energy fueled industrial processes with significant environmental footprints. Regional as well as global trends in urban growth suggest that the demand for these materials and processes will rise sharply over the next 30 – 50 years, setting the stage for a significant spike in greenhouse gas emissions associated with the construction of new buildings and infrastructure. Potential ecological and economic synergies between an enormous southeastern continental woodshed and the rapidly urbanizing landscapes that line the eastern seaboard of the United States offer a promising alternative: the transformation of dense urban centers into massive carbon sinks that serve to mitigate—rather than simply adapt to—rapid climate change. The broad implementation of emerging mass timber structural technologies and the regulatory and economic policies that promote both biobased urban building and sustainable forest management will challenge the conventions of the building sector but offer a wealth of opportunity to the planners, engineers and architects who seek to reshape it.
The Tectonic Grain

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2018-10-24) Tehrani, Nader

With an office dedicated to academia, NADAAA –and its principal, Nader Tehrani-- have been dedicated to building bridges between practice and its aligned disciplines for over 20 years. Having taught at Northeastern University, RISD, Harvard, Georgia Tech, MIT, and now at The Cooper Union, Tehrani has had a chance to witness and participate in varied pedagogical cultures and intellectual streams. With the NADAAA team, Tehrani has completed three schools of architecture for Georgia Tech, The University of Melbourne and the University of Toronto. While this is somewhat of a coincidence, it has led to an in depth analysis of the current state of design schools, some of their radical curricular and structural differences, the manner in which technology has changed the spaces of each school and more broadly how spaces of education are evolving in different ways according to varied cultural and intellectual platforms. One of the significant changes that has taken place in recent years concerns the redefinition of the studio space, most commonly held to be the heart of the school of architecture. For this reason, the program of the School of Architecture is being completely re-thought, with spaces of research, fabrication and collaboration taking on a higher urgency than before.
