Georgia Tech Living Building Challenge: What We LearnedEskew+Dumez+Ripple
In late 2015 early 2016, the Georgia Institute of Technology conducted a remarkable ‘Ideas Competition’ exploring how to make Living Building Challenge certified buildings affordable and replicable in the hot, humid South. Given an entire precinct of campus as a potential site, three finalist design teams (each with architects, landscape architects, and engineers) were challenged to produce specific design proposals testing how a building providing labs, classrooms, and offices could be integrated into a restored landscape on a modest budget. Georgia Tech’s staff, faculty, and students observed throughout, with the School of Architecture’s design studios paralleling the competition.
The architecture firm of Eskew+Dumez+Ripple (EDR) was privileged to be part of one of the three finalist teams. For 90 intense days, we collaborated with architects from two other firms (Collins Cooper Carusi and Hellmuth&Bicknese), landscape architects from Andropogon and HGOR, engineers from Newcomb & Boyd, Point Energy Innovations, pattern r+d, Sherwood Design Engineers, Long Engineering and Uzun+Case, and most crucially the cost estimators of the Palacio Collaborative. Given so many players at so many locations, we relied on free-form messaging platforms like Slack for day-to-day communications, and captured what we learned through entries in a shared blog we called The Hive. This document is comprisedof selections from these communications streams, curated by the 2015-2016 EDR Research Fellow Marina Michael. This effort has been transformative for our team members. By sharing what we’ve learned, we hope it can be transformative for you.
