GRADIENT JOURNAL︎︎︎
“Gradient is an online platform for architecture and urbanism from the University of Michigan Taubman College. Organized in “feeds” rather than “issues,” the journal aspires to lean in to the potentials of digital media formats, elevating nascent disciplinary conversations at Taubman and beyond. Feeds might be semi-defined topics, compelling misfits, or fragments of latent conversations: dim when first launched, but clarified over time. Each feed will remain active after its launch, welcoming responses and submissions in any format—image, video, text, and more. Conversations will stay active until they resolve themselves, lose relevance, or just fade away into the endless digital ether—the Gradient.”
As a student editor on Gradient, I developed the first feed of “papers” that describe the discursive work of Taubman design studios through a pedagogical lens. Gradient has established a new visual and communication identity for the college, inviting dynamic conversations and responses around the work.
