Hayri Dortdivanlioglu is a Ph.D. candidate in architecture and a Fulbright Scholar at the Georgia Institute of Technology. His dissertation research revisits Vitruvian theory and challenges canonic dichotomy between practice and theory in architecture through a counter-canonical reading of Vitruvius’s foundational treatise, De Architectura. In a broader sense, his research interest includes the interaction between technology and design, architectural theories, mapping, and data visualization. Besides his concentration in architecture, Dortdivanlioglu received the Science, Technology, and Society certificate from Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts at Georgia Tech.
