Why Publish? Reframing the Stakes of Student Publications is an open source record and archive of part one of a workshop our office held at the end of July 2022. Presented and compiled with the conviction that why and how we publish is just as important as what we publish, this document aims not only to provide students with the tools and resources to create their own publications but to think thoughtfully, generously, rigorously about the limits and possibilities attendant to printed work. Now available for reading and reference, Why Publish? offers students the space to join us in reconsidering publishing as a collective project with collective consequences.

Aeropolis: Queering Air in Toxicpolluted Worlds
by Nerea Calvillo
How do we get to know to air? Aeropolis: Queering Air in Toxicpolluted Worlds offers a speculative and interdisciplinary framework to reorient common understandings of air and air pollution as matter “out there.” It contests regimes of managing air and instead insists that we acknowledge the diversity of air and its relation to humans, non-humans, and environments, both physically and affectively. That we become sensible to air by following its unruliness—by living, breathing, seeing, holding, touching, queering airs.

Kenneth Frampton: Conversations with Daniel Talesnik
Kenneth Frampton and Daniel Talesnik. Essay by Mary McLeod
Kenneth Frampton: Conversations with Daniel Talesnik presents seven interviews with the architectural historian reflecting on the long arc of his rich and influential career in the discipline. Spanning Frampton’s early years as an architecture student at the Guildford School of Art to his nearly fifty years as a professor at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation, the interviews trace not only the development and implications of his work but also the cultural, political, and discursive terrain surrounding it.
