How has the teaching of architecture evolved at Georgia Tech - from it’s Beaux Arts beginnings, through its Bauhaus-inspired teachings to the professionalization of the curriculum? Where is it headed next? Four of the College’s most-published faculty will offer short histories chronicling our legacy and speculating about its impact on our future. The talks will be followed by a reception opening the third and final installment of the exhibition ‘A Century of Architectural Education at Georgia Tech', curated by Professor Elizabeth Meredith Dowling (Arch 1971) and Lisa M.
