NEW GEOGRAPHIES<\/strong><\/em> was founded \u2014and continues to be produced \u2014 by GSD doctoral candidates, with support from the Aga Khan Program at the GSD (directed by Hashim Sarkis at its founding), along with additional grant funding secured by the students themselves. The journal must also be situated within the broader context of the arrival of Mohsen Mostafavi\u2019s deanship. In his effort to expand the scope and impact of design, Mostafavi envisioned a series of platforms and labs to foster broader engagement and collaboration among GSD students and faculty. Each platform was granted both opportunity and support to take shape according to the interests and research needs of its participants. The opening issue of New Geographies<\/em> explains that the journal emerged from the realization that, in an era of increasing globalization, there was \u201cthe need to create a platform for repositioning the agency of design within new scales of context.\u201d <\/em>Backed by significant financial support and a carefully framed intellectual project, the editors interrogated the emergence of the geographic as a paradigm that shifts and expands the agency of design. Following the model of The Harvard Architecture Review<\/em>, each issue of the journal is organized around a theme and produced by a rotating group of student editors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issue zero, <\/em>Design, Agency, Territory<\/em> introduces the idea of shifting scales, the changing role of design, and the importance of geography in shaping our world. After Zero<\/em> looks at the \u201czero point\u201d as a starting place for imagining cities built from scratch and the new spatial conditions they bring. Landscapes of Energy<\/em> explores how energy and space connect across different technologies and scales, highlighting design\u2019s environmental impact. Urbanisms of Color<\/em> uncovers the overlooked potential of color in urban design, drawing from multiple disciplines. Scales of the Earth<\/em> focuses on how satellite imagery and aerial views change the way we understand Earth and territory. The Mediterranean<\/em> questions the region as a cultural and political construct, revealing the implications of such regional formations. Grounding Metabolism<\/em> examines urban metabolism, showing how planetary processes shape spatial strategies. Geographies of Information<\/em> investigates how data, networks, and digital infrastructures influence the spaces we inhabit. Island<\/em> rethinks boundaries through the concept of \u201cislandness\u201d, using an atlas-like approach to reassess its role in design. Posthuman<\/em> considers how urban landscapes of the 21st century shape design in a world that moves beyond human-centered perspectives. Fallow<\/em> reflects on dormant, wasted, or undervalued spaces, exploring their potential for cultural, ecological, and social renewal. Extraterrestrial<\/em> examines humanity\u2019s evolving relationship with outer space, both historically and today. Finally, Commons<\/em> uses the idea of shared resources as a political and spatial framework to question and reimagine different forms of collective ownership and use.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
