CoA Research Forum

The College of Architecture in partnership with the Georgia Tech Library and Archives is pleased to announce its fall COA Research Forum which begins on Thursday, August 27, 2009. Alan Balfour, Dean of the Georgia Tech College of Architecture, will discuss his recently completed Temple Mount, a study of the constructive and destructive power of faith played out in the myths and realities of one place, Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

The College of Architecture’s COA Research Forums provide an informal setting for the community to learn about research within the College of Architecture. Forums are free and open to the public and participants are invited to explore ideas and identify opportunities for collaboration.

All talks are held in the Architecture Library, West Architecture Building from 11:00AM to 12:00PM on the last Thursday of August through April. Talks are 30 to 45 minutes followed by questions and discussion.
