    Suppose these houses are composed of ourselves
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-11-18) Ledbetter, Ben
    Ben Ledbetter grew up in the South, took a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Auburn University in 1972, and after apprenticeships with Harry Wolf in North Carolina and Robert Hecht and Ed Burdeshaw in Georgia, returned to his native Mississippi in 1976 to begin his own practice. Ledbetter says he forfeited his aspirations of becoming the William Faulkner of southern architecture in his early thirties, and left Mississippi for Harvard University, where he received a Master in Architecture degree in 1984. He was a Teaching Fellow at Harvard, subsequently taught for two years at Tulane University, and then until 1994 directed the architectural studies program of the Wesleyan University Art Department, teaching architecture as well as drawing courses. He has been architect of record for over fifty completed buildings.

    Dan Immergluck's FORECLOSED
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-10-28) Immergluck, Daniel W.
    Over the last two years, the United States has observed, with some horror, the explosion and collapse of entire segments of the housing market, especially those driven by subprime and alternative or "exotic" home mortgage lending. The unfortunately timely Foreclosed explains the rise of high-risk lending and why these newer types of loans—and their associated regulatory infrastructure—failed in substantial ways. Dan Immergluck narrates the boom in subprime and exotic loans, recounting how financial innovations and deregulation facilitated excessive risk-taking, and how these loans have harmed different populations and communities. Immergluck, who has been working, researching, and writing on issues tied to housing finance and neighborhood change for almost twenty years, has an intimate knowledge of the promotion of homeownership and the history of mortgages in the United States. The changes to the mortgage market over the past fifteen years—including the securitization of mortgages and the failure of regulators to maintain control over a much riskier array of mortgage products—led, he finds, inexorably to the current crisis.

    Student Exhibition at AIA South Atlantic Region Conference
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-10-14) Johnston, George B. ; Bonner, Jennifer ; Borders, Carl ; Creighton, Colleen ; Dickey, Rachel ; Fischer, Josef ; Froemelt, Adrienne ; Jimenez, Caitlin ; Johnson, Katherine ; LeFrancois, Joshua ; Lohrey, Dessa ; McPhail, Leeland ; Wheelock, Timothy
    In a collaborative effort of design and making, the exhibition team interrogated what might constitute a responsible contribution to this convention’s ephemeral display of architecture and production. What locally available materials, what organization of labor and know-how, and what expressions manifested from those could best exemplify the spirit of architectural education at Georgia Tech? Rescuing 50,000 sheets of paper from the campus recycling bins at Georgia Tech "a fraction of the hundreds of thousands of document pages printed there each month" a singular unit of construction was derived, a simple rolled sheet. Its structural logic was investigated; the procedural logic of its production and assembly was tested; its visual coherence was evaluated. The thickened, porous paper wall that results is embedded with historical data that visualizes student enrollment at Georgia Tech’s College of Architecture during its first 100 years.
