Redlines: Thresholds

2018-05-29T09:00:00-04:00

Redlines is a collection of interviews with editors that make today's most provocative architectural publications come to life. While architecture is traditionally concerned with buildings, materials, and scale, their importance and historical impact are recorded through words, books, and images that are often organized, published, and disseminated. Redlines seeks to understand the pedagogical and design frameworks that shape this process.

In this session, we look at Thresholds, a publication housed within the History Theory Criticism group in the Department of Architecture at MIT.

Screen/Print #33: the alternative history of Edith Farnsworth and her architect, from MIT's "Thresholds"

MIT’s Department of Architecture is the oldest in the US, and its journal is comparably formidable. Known as Thresholds, the peer-reviewed publication is issued annually, and not uncommonly features work by established leaders in architectural thought, associated with the school or not. It doesn’t strive towards a single theoretical or conceptual framework as a whole, but unpacks a particular idea with each issue – featured here is “Scandalous”.
