OVERVIEW

The Crystal Palace was built in 1851.  On Saturday April 5, 2014, representatives from 9 different disciplines at Georgia Institute of Technology join forces to give a symposium that covers design, building construction, architectural history, music...well, you get the idea.  

At the time of its construction, The Crystal Palace was a feat of design, engineering, and programming that amazed attendees, captivated world attention, and inspired architecture and design forever after.  On April 5th we'll hear the who, the what, the how.

We are honored to be joined in the studio by Brian Bowen, Professor of Practice, School of Building Construction, and Robert Craig, Professor Emeritus, School of Architecture, as a precursor to the day's events.  The presenters and run of show are below.  Take a listen now for a sneak peak into the conversation.  Please enjoy.
