The selected projects, research, and lectures expand the limits of design and invite us to reconsider the role of the architect.

"Platform 3" considers the expanded boundaries of the Harvard University Graduate School of Design. It features not only selections of work produced at the GSD during the 2009–2010 academic year, but also the potential of that work to address broader questions and inform global initiatives.

The selected projects, research, and lectures expand the limits of design and invite us to reconsider the role of the architect , the landscape architect, the urban planner and designer in defining the world of the future.
