A new installation promoting art and safety is on permanent display at the Crosland Tower on the campus of Georgia Tech. Tristan Al-Haddad, professor at Georgia Tech’s School of Architecture and owner of Formations Studio, was commissioned to create the Crosland Chroma Project. The installation surrounding the terraces on the seventh floor of Crossland was designed for aesthetic and safety reasons. Al-Haddad joined “City Lights” host Lois Reitzes via Zoom to explain how his team’s newest creation serves its space in form and function.
