To assist representatives from the City of Duluth in generating ideas for the memorial, Georgia Tech Architecture Professors Richard Dagenhart and David Green\u0027s senior design studios will spend the first two weeks in February investigating living memorials and generating potential designs for consideration.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBefore the students isolate themselves behind their drawing boards and computers, they will fully immerse themselves in on-going conversations and background learning around the design of memorials.  The Duluth Living Memorial Project will kickoff with a seminar on architecture and memorials led by Professors Dagenhart, Green, and Doug Allen.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAllen, together with Associate Professor Jude LeBlanc designed the Veterans Memorial Park in Smyrna, Georgia and was part of the team who designed the Korean War Memorial in Canton Park on the harbor in the City of Baltimore, MD., described the nature of a memorial.  \u0022A memorial is built by the living in order to obligate future generations to remember a significant person or event. In doing so, a memorial carries with it a pedagogical function.\u0022\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe intriguing and difficult aspect of the Duluth Memorial is that it is intended to honor living veterans, as well as those whose lives were sacrificed in service to their country.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0022This is a unique opportunity for our students to participate in a design competition of a real project,\u0022 said Chris Jarrett, Associate Director of the Architecture Program.  \u0022While the project dimensions are small in scale, the scope and challenge of the project is huge.  Bringing resolution and meaning to a memorial that commemorates not only the dead but the living is one of the most provocative and potentially rich aspects of this competition.  Surely it will stir the student\u0027s minds. The Architecture Program is pleased to be able to participate and assist the City of Duluth in reaching their goal of building a Living Memorial.\u0022\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe competition will be judged by a panel including a representative from the City of Duluth, a Duluth veteran, design faculty at Georgia Tech, and an invited design critic.  Three monetary awards will be given to the top three designs.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAll of the student projects from the design studio will be on display at the City of Duluth after the competition.  This will provide an opportunity for the citizens of Duluth to reflect upon the different designs and help them determine what\u0027s best and how to move forward in the development of a Living Memorial for the City of Duluth.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe site of the Living Memorial is the new Town Green and Festival Center located in the historic heart of the city.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESee \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.whistle.gatech.edu\/archives\/07\/feb\/26\/memorial_design.shtml\u0022\u003Efollow up article \u003C\/a\u003Efrom \u003Cem\u003EThe Whistle,\u003C\/em\u003E Georgia Tech\u0027s faculty and staff newspaper.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EThe Duluth Living Memorial Project will kickoff with a seminar on architecture and memorials led by Professors Dagenhart, Green, and Doug Allen.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Seniors to design memorial for City of Duluth"}],"uid":"27220","created_gmt":"2007-01-23 01:00:00","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:09:52","author":"Leslie Sharp","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2007-01-23T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2007-01-23T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"69040":{"id":"69040","type":"image","title":"Living Memorial Competition","body":null,"created":"1449177228","gmt_created":"2015-12-03 21:13:48","changed":"1475894602","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:43:22"}},"media_ids":["69040"],"groups":[{"id":"1221","name":"College of Design"}],"categories":[{"id":"129","name":"Institute and Campus"},{"id":"134","name":"Student and Faculty"}],"keywords":[{"id":"175","name":"Architecture"},{"id":"13813","name":"City of Duluth"},{"id":"926","name":"College of Architecture"},{"id":"6171","name":"David Green"},{"id":"5912","name":"douglas c. allen"},{"id":"13812","name":"memorial designs"},{"id":"167177","name":"School of Architecture"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
