“Can we think our way out of fear? Design our way through dread?” ask the editors of “Run for Cover”, Harvard Design Magazine’s Summer/Spring issue. The 42nd edition of the journal questions the relationship between architecture and fear, troubling the normative expectation for architecture to act as shelter.

After all, architecture already is weaponized, serves as a mechanism for control, a target for attacks, a tool of segregation. This is increasingly true in the “age of terror”, when “we blind ourselves to the regimes of control enacted in the name of safety which ultimately encroach on our civil liberties.”

Run for Cover features writing by Geoff Manaugh, Jennifer Sigler, Interboro Partners, Blair Kamin, and Oliver Wainwright—among many others. You can read select articles online now, or purchase the whole thing for € 18.00.
