All the panels have survived and present a grand view of the ambitions for architecture in the 50\u2019s: and there are familiar names.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAnd at the same time we will unveil the \u003Cstrong\u003Erestoration of the original Architecture Library\u003C\/strong\u003E where much of the woodwork has remained hidden, but untouched for thirty years. \u0026nbsp;I see this as the initial phase in what I hope will be a plan to completely restore the East Architecture Building.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe celebration will continue with a request that will go to all our alumni in Industrial Design, City \u0026amp; Regional Planning and Architecture from 1952 till the present. It will ask you to submit a favorite example of your work, which will form the basis for three exhibitions to be held during the spring semester. All work submitted will be placed in a digital archive - available for all to see - and become an ongoing repository for the creative work of the College.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EA most important consequence of all this is to recover the values and ideals that have made this College strong and influential over so many years.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EPlease mark your calendars and join us for the opening reception of the 60\u003Csup\u003Eth\u003C\/sup\u003E Anniversary 1952-2012 celebration on November 8, 2012 from 5:30 \u2013 7:30pm.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EThe College of Architecture will celebrate the 60th anniversary of the opening of its main building, followed by the Fall GT Symphony.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"The College of Architecture will celebrate the 60th anniversary of the opening of its main building, followed by the Fall GT Symphony  Concert"}],"uid":"27202","created_gmt":"2012-10-15 16:58:44","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 02:00:42","author":"David Morton","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2012-11-08T16:30:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2012-11-08T18:30:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2012-11-08T18:30:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2012-11-08 21:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2012-11-08 23:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2012-11-08 23:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"168881":{"id":"168881","type":"image","title":"Architecture 60th Anniversary invitation image","body":null,"created":"1449178968","gmt_created":"2015-12-03 21:42:48","changed":"1475894809","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:46:49","alt":"Architecture 60th Anniversary invitation image","file":{"fid":"195661","name":"60th_invite_square.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/60th_invite_square_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/60th_invite_square_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":74283,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/60th_invite_square_0.jpg?itok=KvIC2MVY"}},"168871":{"id":"168871","type":"image","title":"Architecture Faculty 1951","body":null,"created":"1449178968","gmt_created":"2015-12-03 21:42:48","changed":"1475894809","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:46:49","alt":"Architecture Faculty 1951","file":{"fid":"195660","name":"arch_faculty_1951.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/arch_faculty_1951_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/arch_faculty_1951_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":282007,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/arch_faculty_1951_0.jpg?itok=K7EVWoFj"}}},"media_ids":["168881","168871"],"groups":[{"id":"1221","name":"College of Design"},{"id":"1223","name":"School of Building Construction"},{"id":"1224","name":"School of City \u0026 Regional Planning"},{"id":"1225","name":"School of Industrial Design"},{"id":"1227","name":"School of Music"},{"id":"1233","name":"CATEA - Center for Assistive Technology and Environmental Access"},{"id":"1260","name":"CQGRD - Center for Quality Growth and Regional Development"},{"id":"48996","name":"School of Architecture"},{"id":"60379","name":"DBL - Digital Building Lab"},{"id":"60380","name":"CSPAV - Center for Spatial Planning Analytics and Visualization"},{"id":"60381","name":"CMT - Center for Music Technology"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"48971","name":"exclude"},{"id":"18651","name":"featured"},{"id":"47321","name":"top"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1792","name":"Arts and Performance"}],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:nicole.howe%40coa.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Enicole.howe@coa.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
