This work ha also increased awareness of the value and costs of virtual design and construction.\u0022\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EFollowing the lecture will be an open reception to mark the 50th anniversary of the Building Construction Program at Georgia Tech. The program has leapt forward under the direction of Kangari--undergraduate enrollment has more than doubled and its nine-year-old graduate program has become the largest in the College of Architecture. Kicking off its next 50 years, the program has tripled its research proposal output in the last year alone. \n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThis lecture is free and open to the public, and will offer AIA Continuing Education Credits.
