In order to investigate these claims and to provide a testable framework, an empirical study has been conducted. A set of quantitative measures was
Building A Computer Aid for Teaching Architectural Design Concepts
Building an aid for teaching architectural design concepts is the process of elaborating topics, defining problems and suggesting to the students strategies for solving those problems. I believe students in Environment and Behavior (E&B) courses at Georgia Tech can benefit greatly from a computer based educational tool designed to provide them with experiences they currently do not possess.

Part dark humor, part grim portent, in the game players play from the side of management needing to cut jobs, and match types of workers in groups in order to lay the workers off and increase workforce efficiency.

Keith Haring at Grounds for Sculpture | 08/02/10
Artist Keith Haring, who died in 1990 at the age of 31, is famous for his iconic, graffiti-inspired art – starting in the subways of NYC, then taking the international art world by storm.

The debate goes on about how best to develop and maintain the site in line with the Trust's stated aims and objectives. There is no definitive answer, and the site will inevitably evolve over time.
