Harvard Design Magazine #53

Harvard Design Magazine is a biannual publication from the Harvard University Graduate School of Design (GSD) that explores critical issues in architecture, landscape architecture, and urban design through scholarly, poetic, and visually engaging content. It features diverse voices and formats, including scholarly articles, artist collaborations, interviews, and archival research, often centered on a specific thematic issue that encourages dialogue, speculation, and surprise

Harvard Design Magazine #53, titled "Reuse and Repair," explores the practice of renovating and repurposing existing structures as a vital alternative to demolition and new construction to address environmental concerns and create more resilient cities. 

Guest-edited by architect Jeanne Gang and historian Lizabeth Cohen, the issue investigates reuse across multiple scales, from individual buildings to urban systems and regulatory frameworks. 

It features contributions from designers, planners, historians, and other scholars to promote a paradigm shift toward repair and continuity in a profession often focused on novelty and newness
