How is what we engineer and design guided by what we can imagine?   How are our imagination and our understanding inspired by our ability to visualize?

These are the questions that have drawn faculty and students from the Colleges of Engineering, Liberal Arts, Computing, and Architecture at Georgia Tech to organize an exhibition and a conversation around the theme, “Vision: I Imagine, I See, I Make,” a two-week long salon for Georgia Tech and the surrounding community.

This  salon will demonstrate how student and faculty creativity at Georgia Tech challenges the divide between engineering, science, and the arts. It will be an experimental platform for advancing trans-disciplinary education at Tech and connecting with like minds in Atlanta, thus redefining the public context of our creative efforts.

Exhibits range from attempts to understand the multiple facets of traffic modeling and management, to exploring the connection between visualization and music; from architectural projects, to virtual game worlds; and from discussions of how innovation is expressed in patents, to discussions of the role of computational models in the making of new forms of ornament.

The exhibition and reception will be hosted in the Hinman Research Building, and the opening is scheduled on  is on May 3^rd from 5 p.m.-8p.m.

Forum:  A Special Forum will focus on the potential of trans-disciplinary education-embodied in the exhibits and called for in the Georgia Tech Strategic Plan. The invited participants include James Elkins, Simon Penny, Lars Spuybroek, and Barbara Maria Stafford .

The Special Forum will be held in the College of Architecture Reinisch-Pierce Auditorium on May 7, at 5p.m.

Following the forum there will be a Tour of the Exhibition.
