Test Print

Test Print is produced by MDes students, an informal student publication, with the purpose of “sharing our writings, internally building our scholarly community, expanding the norms of what GSD work looks like, and connecting MDes students across concentrations [domains] and with their non-MDes colleagues. It consists of abstracts of their scholarship during their time at the GSD. This was a short-lived student journal, envisioned as a zine, that lasted two issues. MDes students were encouraged to contribute one page related to their work in progress, which were presented in texts and/or images.

Contributors to the second issue include Nicolas Oueijan, Carolina Sepulveda, Daniela Teran, Francisco Colon, Delaram Rahim, Fiona Kenney, Vaissnavi Shuckl, Yashada Wagle, Xiaobi Pan, Karan Saharya, Eduardo Pelaez, Proey Liao, and Alexandra Sanyal.

Some of the topics presented in Issue 2 are: “The Chilean Feminist Movement: A Movement that is Here to Stay”, “Monument to Inbetweenness- An Instrument for Reading Poetry”, “Intentional Architects, Incidental Artists”, “Poeceptible: What Could a Poem Be in VR?”, “Monuments, Memories, and Identity: A Critique of Conservation in Post-Colonial India”, “A Typology of the Crematorium: On Derivation in Miletskyj’s Baikove Cemetery”, “On the Ums: Studium Punctum, Album”, “Boundless or Intimate Spaces: Characteristics of Informal Spatiality”, “Tower of Silence: Performative Architectural Memorial” and “Icon to Idol: Sacred to Waste”.
