In celebration of Atlanta’s diverse mix of certified green building projects, MODA presents ATLANTA: Beyond Bricks & Sticks, an exhibition that will travel to some of the city’s high-profile venues during February and March. Spotlighting many of the metro area’s outstanding design examples, MODA’s Atlanta: Beyond Bricks & Stickstells the stories of the people who live, work, learn and play in the city’s sustainable structures. Exhibit components include an interactive Atlanta Green Map, a “What is Your Carbon Footprint?” quiz, video interviews, an intimate look at student life at Dekalb County’s LEED Silver Certified Arabia Mountain High School and many other features that explain and celebrate green living.
Curation of the exhibition includes a broad spectrum of buildings reflective of the metro area’s commercial and residential projects along with large-scale developments that incorporate environmental features. All of the exhibit’s projects either meet the US Green Building Council’s LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) green building rating system or the Southeast’s EarthCraft House certification program. The exhibit has been thoughtfully designed with sustainable materials to fit the theme while allowing for the challenges of traveling to the various settings.

Atlanta: Beyond Bricks & Sticks will continue traveling through the end of 2010. The remaining schedule will be announced in the coming months. Upcoming venues include: the Gwinnett Environmental and Heritage Center and the Serenbe Farms.
LoveNests will showcase the lives of a colorful collective of Atlanta locals through design. The exhibition is a collaborative effort between Portfolio Center photography and Georgia Tech industrial design students. Through interviews, storytelling, and photography, the curators will delve into the personalities and histories of popular Atlantans and discover what objects define, inspire, and capture the essence of their individuality. Once this process is complete, the photographers and designers will work together to translate and engineer each person’s symbolic spirit, so to speak, into a three-dimensional representation. Structural, abstract, graphic and diverse, each Atlantan is tangibly personified at MODA through designed environments. LoveNests serves as an engaging, illustrative biography of our Atlanta favorites.

Don’t miss out on Clint Zeagler’s Lecture at Pecha Kucha on March 8 at Octane. Dali : Dolly :: Surrealism : Tacky. Are surrealism and tacky really the same thing? Why does one seem so fancy and the other seem so uneducated? Dolly and Dali will help us answer this question.
If you’ve ever heard me tell about Fisher’s music, you’ve likely heard me say, “he elevates” when describing his performance. ‘Tis true. And he prefers to play barefooted.
Fisher came to Atlanta about two years ago but then left us for snowy areas. He’s coming down for a visit and I’ve designed a little concert for the event.
Come out to L5P on the 27th. You’ll find a Star Bar full of fun-loving people and exceptional music. You already know how we feel about Ocha la Rocha, and I asked one of my favorite Atlanta bands, Molotov Pipedream, to play too.
Forewarning: due to the cold, Fisher may have to wear socks.
Be warm with us this holiday season!
concert / saturday 27th / star bar / 9pm
