GSD Student Publications: A History from the Archives

Abstract

The purpose of this brief narrative is twofold: first, to capture the history of the Harvard Graduate School of Design student publications within the context of the school, both in terms of their general description and in relation to their affiliation to the GSD academic programs and people involved; and second, of their possible interpretation in terms of their thrust, purpose, and impact. Intentionally more descriptive than interpretive, this inventory of sorts may provide a foundation for a renewed critical view into student publications at GSD, and inspire future generations to discover, through their own GSD student publications, their potential contribution to the history of the School, to the disciplines they are immersing themselves in, and to society in general.
