Through critical essays and projects, the journal seeks to position design\'s agency amid concerns about infrastructure, technology, ecology, and globalization.
New Geographies presents the geographic as a design paradigm that links physical, representational, and political attributes of space and articulates a synthetic scalar practice.
New Geographies is a journal of design, agency, and territory founded, edited, and produced by Doctor of Design candidates at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design.
Three primary thematic territorial devices structure these explorations: a technologically constructed space between, a material culture constructed and discharged, and a space politically and economically reflective, all revealed through historical and contemporary society.
This issue brings together experts contributing to the social, political, and cultural imaginary implicit in extraterrestrial.
It reinforces the need for humanity\'s changing relationship with outer space to be recorded, critiqued, and theorized from a breadth of academic traditions and projected within design discourse.
Through a series of written, photographic, and representational investigations, this edition of New Geographies builds on earlier studies of outer space from science, technology and society, as well as from the design disciplines, history, and critical geography.
These critical processes are revealed as not extra at all, but rather distinctly of terra.
Complicit within this imagination resides a deep political and economic logic that serves to territorialize outer space as an exception to, and extension of, Earth.
This issue questions the means through which space is forged as a condition extra to our own terra.
It interprets this duality through the conceptual lens of "extraterrestrial," which engages an entangled zone of expanding practices in geography, landscape, and architecture, stretching Earth to space, and conversely, space to Earth.
