These materials were typically assembled in consistent structural bays with repetitive rhythms of solid infill and large fenestrations.
During the middle of the last century, the College of Architecture at Georgia Tech was guided by the work and pedagogy of architect Paul M. Heffernan (director, 1956-75), who contributed to the establishment of a modern discourse based on Bauhaus-influenced functionalism.
