ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The editors would like to thank the GSD for giving us the reins for this project and having faith that students should lead this effort. We would especially like to thank Marielle Suba for her dedication and patience. This book—and the newly imagined Platform series— would not be possible without her. We owe special thanks to Adam DeTour, who was an artistic partner to our project and whose photography lends the book its visual atmosphere. Thanks to Ken Stewart, Dan Borelli, Jennifer Sigler, Meghan Sandberg, David Zimmerman-Stuart, Maggie Janik, and the Office of Communications for supporting us throughout the duration of the project. Thanks to Michael Hooper, Megan Panzano, and Robert Gerard Pietrusko for sharing their insights, perspective, and experience with us along the way. Thanks to Susan Spaulding, Trevor O’Brien, Joseph Amato, and the Building Services staff for allowing us to occupy the entirety of Gund Hall to write the poems and setup the photos seen in this book. Thanks to Afshaan Alter Burtram, Alaina Fernandes, Taylor Horner, Sarah Hutchinson, Ashley Lang, Janessa Mulepati, and Aimée Taberner for providing the information necessary to contextualize hundreds of courses and projects. Thanks to Anita Kan and Ray Coffey, as well as Ann Whiteside, Kevin Lau, Janina Mueller, and the Frances Loeb Library Staff for supporting the collection of hundreds of models and digital project submissions. Additional thanks go to Martin Bechthold, Silvia Benedito, Rosetta S. Elkin, Zeina Koreitem, Burton LeGeyt, Caroline Newton, and Rachel Vroman for their help. We thank Mohsen Mostafavi for his continued support—intellectual and otherwise—and trust in us to capture a year of work at the GSD. Finally, we thank our colleagues, the students of the GSD, for their work, which made this book possible.
