In the first GVU Brown Bag Seminar of the academic year, Keith Edwards, GVU Center Director and Professor of Interactive Computing, will kick off our talk series with an overview of the GVU Center detailing its unique resources and opportunities, and previewing some of the events coming up this semester. Come, enjoy lunch, and learn about some of the ways you can connect with GVU. Also, each year, the GVU Center and IPaT announce funding for the Research and Engagement Grants, which support early stage work by Georgia Tech researchers. This year’s winners will give brief overviews of the work they will be doing over the coming academic year.

Sophisticated knowledge and skills in the right hands and minds can empower designers to make
smarter design choices, but these instruments are not prescriptive. The balance lies between the space
of the qualitative and the quantitative, between the immeasurable and the scientific. In this field of hightech
and big data, where are the spaces for the ephemeral, the un-quantifiable, in an arena driven by
metrics and computation? How can technology not prescribe but rather leverage and amplify the
articulation of the thoughtfully considered design artifact? What are the possibilities when the skills of the
craftsperson are merged with cutting-edge tools? This symposium will share the innovative research and creative production of the work of design leaders
operating at the intersection of architecture, art, culture and technology.
