  <body><![CDATA[<p>Design refers to something intentionally created by a thinking agent, and the term is also often used to describe the inherent character or nature of an object or space. <em><strong>Transformed Environments: Paper Informing Design</strong></em><strong> </strong>examines the many ways paper shapes—and is shaped by—our built environment. The built environment encompasses all human-made or modified structures and surroundings that support daily life, offering places to live, work, and connect. The design of these indoor and outdoor spaces plays a vital role in public health by influencing movement, social engagement, and the quality of the environments we inhabit.&nbsp;</p><p lang="EN-US">This exhibition asks:&nbsp;</p><ul type="disc"><li><strong>How does paper shape the way we think about design and communicate design concepts?</strong></li><li><strong>How does paper inform the solutions we imagine for design challenges?</strong></li><li><strong>How has paper influenced the public’s understanding and expectations of the built environment?</strong></li><li><strong>Where does paper physically appear within the materials we use to construct the world around us?</strong></li></ul><p lang="EN-US">As visitors move through the galleries, these questions unfold through four themes: <strong>paper as a representational tool</strong>, <strong>paper as symbolic form</strong>, <strong>paper as building material</strong>, and <strong>paper as a source of current research at GA Tech</strong>.
