DICHOTOMY 20: OLD
Dichotomy 20 OLD marks the fourth edition in a dramatic rethinking and reinstitution of the journal itself and its relationship with the student body. We are proud to release Dichotomy 20 as a continuation of a larger effort of sustainability and reputability carried out by the staff of Dichotomy 17, 18, 19, and 20. Moreover, this edition is evidence of the school’s careful attention to the complexity of broad, overreaching architectural and design themes.

This edition takes on a fundamental topic in art, culture, and design. All intervention, at its most essential scale, deals both directly and indirectly with questions of past, present, and future -- and, often times, with all three at once. In this sense the things we create are not merely frozen in time, but transcend the tenses. Through this thematic lens, we ask ourselves, “As nostalgic people, how are we to relate to old things and how do they relate to us?”
