Platform 2 provides a sampling of the most salient research and design explorations undertaken at the Harvard Graduate School of Design (GSD) during the 2008-2009 academic year. Organized thematically, the publication identifies underlying congruencies among studio work, theses, research, lectures, conferences, and weitings to unfold some of the many critical ideas and interests currently being explored in the School. Ranging in scope from detailed material fabrication to large-scale territorial and intrastructural strategies, the work spans a broad and diverse set of geographies and scenarios.
In documenting this work, the publition archives and disseminates the rich intellectual momentum of the GSD.
