dc.description	Todd Cronan is an Associate Professor of Art History at Georgia Tech. Professor Cronan is currently at work on two book projects. The frirst, Seeing Photographically: Photographic Ontology and the Problem of Audience, looks at photographic debates around the concept of "previsualization" from Alfred Stieglitz to Minor White including new considerations of the work of Edward Weston, Ansel Adams, Harry Callahan and Aaron Siskind. The second project, Art at the End of History: Painting/Photography/Architecture/Theater/ Film in the 1920s, examines the claims and results of a vision of art after modernization had achieved its ends. At the center of the latter are the intense debates over which artistic medium was thought to best express the realities of a post-historical world.	en_US
dc.description	George B. Johnston is a Professor of Architecture at Georgia Tech and principal of Johnston+Dumais [architects]. He has over 35 years of experience as an architect, educator, academic leader, and cultural historian. George was educated at Emory University (Ph.D. in American Cultural History, 2006), Rice University (M.Arch., 1984) and Mississippi State University (B.Arch., 1979). He teaches courses in architectural and urban design, cultural theory, and social history of architectural practice; and his research interrogates the social, historical, and cultural implications of making architecture in the American context. He is author of the award-winning book from ˜e MIT P ress, Drafting Culture: A Social History of Architectural Graphic Standards, which has been lauded for its insights into the ongoing technological transformation of the profession. As both practicing architect and cultural historian, George is open to and supportive of research and design projects that involve themes of memory and modernity; institutions of cultural exhibition and display; changing design technologies and representational practices, approaches to American vernacular architecture and cultural landscape; and the critique of the everyday. Propelling his inquiries is this central concern: What recuperative role can architects’ practices play in this age of universalizing technology?	en_US
dc.description	Marisabel Marratt is a doctoral student in the History and Theory concentration, under the direction of Professor Lars Spuybroek at Georgia Tech. Her research examines twentieth century history and philosophies of technology, and their implications for contemporary architectural history and theory, aesthetics and the evolving experience and conception of Architecture in professional practice. As point-of departure, her focus is the work of French philosopher of technology Gilbert Simondon (1924-1989), his conception of techno-aesthetics and in-formation, and its potential implications for contemporary conceptions of Architecture. Marisabel holds a bachelor’s and master’s degree in architecture from Princeton University (1985, 1988), where she developed her design thesis under the direction of Professors Anthony Vidler and Alan Colquhoun. In her extensive professional experience, Marisabel has since been involved in many award-winning projects, encompassing architecture, interior architecture and production design. Throughout, the emphasis has been to explore the content of experience in built form. The desire to “push the envelope” has led to inventive approaches to space/form-making, exploring and implementing virtual and material technologies, color, movement and light.	en_US
