Georgia Tech's Solar Decathlon House harnesses and celebrates the sun's power. As in the Greek tale of the architect Daedalus and his son Icarus who embarked on a flight to the sun, so too the modern fascination with building "lighter" and more "transparent" buildings is presumed to be at odds with "energy conservation." And yet, at no other time in the history of construction have advances in materials technology and energy systems design rendered Icarus' vision more realizable. Exploring the paradox of "lightness" and "energy conservation" is the inspiration that guides the design and construction of Georgia Tech's Solar Decathlon House. <br/> <br/>Description: Members of the Solar Decathlon Team presented a lecture in the Georgia Tech Architecture Library on March 27, 2008 from 11:00 am - 12:00 noon http://smartech.gatech.edu/handle/1853/20278 Title: A Look at the U.S. Mortgage Crisis: Implications for Housing Markets and Communities <br/> <br/>Authors: Immergluck, Dan <br/> <br/>Abstract: Dan Immergluck, Associate Professor, City and Regional Planning <br/> <br/>Description: Presented on February 28, 2008 11:00 am - 12:00 noon in the Georgia Tech Architecture Library http://smartech.gatech.edu/handle/1853/19884 Title: New Avenues for Musical Expression <br/> <br/>Authors: Wienberg, Gil <br/> <br/>Abstract: Dr. Gil Weinberg, Assistant professor and director of the Music Technology program, demonstrated new musical instruments he has developed. These instruments, including Beatbugs, Haile the robotic percussionist, and his specially programmed cell phone, provide new avenues for Musical expression. <br/> <br/>Description: Presented on January 31, 2008 11:00 am - 12:00 noon in the Georgia Tech Architecture Library
