About the course

Research in Building Design Technology at the Georgia Tech School of Architecture combines rigorous investigation with design interrogation. This discipline brings together students, researchers, and faculty focusing on solving the world’s most pressing challenges through interdisciplinarity. Architects, designers, engineers, building scientists, planners, and data analysts work together to address the biggest threat to life on earth: climate change. The work can be pursued at the level of basic science at the material level, all the way to large-scale, real-world applications at the city scale, all scrutinized for excellence in economic, societal, and energy performance. Our goal is to pioneer design-based technologies through various fields including data analytics, building performance simulation, structural analysis, and material innovations, among others.

　　Humankind is at the brink of crossing the climate danger threshold, and living architectural systems might prove to be one of the most feasible solutions to address and mitigate climate change. This gives us an opportunity to re-think and redefine architecture in terms of its adaptability and contribution to the environment. Thus, this is a multidisciplinary research group dedicated to developing a performing biological and mechanical “ to life” built environment that can have a positive environmental impact.
