In the light of contributions out of Georgia Tech over the last 25 years, I will identify the larger questions that are critical to progress in the near future. These include: a fresh consideration of the relationship between rich parametric models of functioning built spaces and simplified topological models that capture principles of architectural design; also, a fresh consideration of the tension between models that describe or explain function and models that clarify normative aims and normative choices.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":"","uid":"27814","created_gmt":"2013-10-18 10:36:08","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 02:05:21","author":"Lisa Herrmann","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2013-10-24T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2013-10-24T13:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2013-10-24T13:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2013-10-24 16:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2013-10-24 17:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2013-10-24 17:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1221","name":"College of Design"},{"id":"48996","name":"School of Architecture"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"11225","name":"coa research forum"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003ELisa Herrmann\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDirector of Communications\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ECollege of Architecture\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E404-385-0693\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
