Socio- (Thresholds 40)

Thresholds, Journal of the MIT Department of Architecture, is an annual, blind peer-reviewed publication produced by student editors at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Each issue covers art, architecture, design, and other modes of cultural production through scholarship, projects, and interviews that revolve around a particular theme. “Gone are the days of black and white and here is the time of grey. As social linkages have become wildly complex, the normative positions that might bring them order have evaporated. What if, for a moment, the rules were put on hold? What if you could stand up for what you believe in without losing your cool?” Issue 40, Socio—, deals with the messy realities of the socially conscious project and features contributions by Jonathan Crisman, Reinhold Martin, Daniel A. Barber, Rania Ghosn, Simone Brott, Dana Cuff, Pamela Ritchot, Ronald Rael, Neeraj Bhatia and Alexander D'Hooghe, Yoshiharu Tsukamoto of Atelier Bow-Wow, Casey Goodwin, Esen Gökçe Özdamar, Kenny Cupers, Markus Miessen, Mark Jarzombek, Christian A. Hedrick, Nana Last, Dan Handel, Gunnar Green, Bernhard Hopfengärtner, Steve Kurtz of Critical Art Ensemble, Steven Beckly, Jonathan D. Katz, Interboro Partners, Zissis Kotionis, Amrita Mahindroo, Justin Fowler, Hannah Rose Mendoza, Joseph M. Watson, Daniel Daou, Department of Unusual Certainties, and Jimenez Lai.
