Archival ferment
The 57th issue of Perspecta, the Yale architectural journal, is now available, edited by M. C. Overholt ’21MEnvD; Alex Whee Kim ’21MEnvD, ’26PhD; Brian Christopher Orser ’22MArch; and Sarah Hye Yeon Kim ’23MArch.
This issue, “Archival Ferment,” examines the “buildings, artifacts, books, images, conversations, griots, instruments, and practices of cultivation and construction” that arise from leakages beyond the archive. The edition is printed in duplicate on perforated pages for redistribution by readers. It is also available to read online at MIT Press Direct.
