Summary:
"GSD 08 Platform attempts to formulate prevalent tendencies and coherences among the many that currently operate within the Harvard Graduate School of Design. Its content groupings are the site of relations between a diverse range of projects and domains of research, developing affinities out of the reading between projects, events, and writings. The amalgam of these issues reveals a partial section of ideas and interests-an archeology of the present state of the school. More than a mere recording of the achievements of students and faculty, lectures, publications, and exhibitions, this book is an unraveling of an order. It is the site of new, intrinsic experiences and discoveries."--BOOK JACKET.
