How is design taught? How are design theories, designed artifacts,
built and unbuilt, architectures and cities archived?
Where is information stored digitally and physically? How do we interact with archives?
How do archives warp history and how can we begin to use archives to imagine, celebrate and protest?
Design Focus: Architecture, Object Design, Web Design
Concept Focus: Archives
