Once upon a time asserted to be the “mother art” (Frank Lloyd Wright) and as “the ultimate goal of all creative activity” (Walter Gropius’s introduction to his Bauhaus Manifesto), but over the past century it has lost its purchase on such sweeping and grandiose claims to creative primacy and world-building. At the same time, however, architecture remains a ubiquitous point of reference for a wide range of disciplines, practices, and protagonists that influence the design of the things we use and the environments we inhabit—including fields not only directly related to architecture such as landscape architecture, urban planning, and urban design, but also fashion, industrial design, graphic design, and digital design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe issue’s title, Instruments of Service, carries a double meaning. As defined in standard American Institute of Architects contracts, “Instruments of Service are representations, in any medium of expression now known or later developed, of the tangible and intangible creative work performed by the Architect and the Architect’s consultants under their respective professional services agreements. Instruments of Service may include, without limitation, studies, surveys, models, sketches, drawings, specifications, and other similar materials.” Instruments of service are the instruction manuals that architects—and other designers—make so that others can make something. They define the architect’s relationships with labor, construction, clients, and society. And these relationships—along with the agency of architectural practice—are changing as a growing number of external pressures force instruments of service to change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArchitects and designers can also be seen as instruments of service to society, responsible to a continually shifting set of values. At a fundamental level, the designer’s job is to imagine and articulate a better future. In a time of crisis and competing value systems—market returns, cultural relevance, environmental response, social equity, automation—the role of the designer in society is ever more important and increasingly accountable to divergent interests that call into question the raison d’être of design practice itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the end, what we make is inextricably tied to why and for whom we make it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Harvard Design Magazine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46571713233116,"sku":"S05542","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/9746\/1724\/files\/NEW5583.jpg?v=1752618960"},{"product_id":"anatomy","title":"Anatomy","description":"\u003cp\u003eOver a career spanning more than thirty years and a vast array of mediums, Korean-born artist Do Ho Suh’s work has circled around a constellation of recurring themes: memory, belonging, domesticity, corporeality, monuments, and collectivity.

Engaging with unsettling questions, A Moratorium on New Construction envisions a massive value shift for our existing stock. From housing redistribution to reinviting value generation, from anti-extractive measures to profound structural changes, from curricula reforms to purging the exploitative culture of the office, an entire rewiring of design processes and construction lays ahead. Somewhere between a thought experiment and a call for action, A Moratorium on New Construction is a leap of faith to envision a less extractive future, made of what we have: Not demolishing, not building new, but building less, building with what exists, inhabiting it differently, and caring for it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sternberg Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46650128597212,"sku":"S05567","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/9746\/1724\/files\/amoratoriumonnewconstruction-criticalspatialpractice14.jpg?v=1750439978"},{"product_id":"how-to-live-with-objects-a-guide-to-more-meaningful-interiors","title":"How to Live with Objects: A Guide to More Meaningful Interiors","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the modern home, it matters less whether your interior is perfectly appointed and more if it’s authentically personal, unique, and filled with the objects you feel a connection to.
