About the Journal

Hyphen is a journal edited by Ph.D. students of the Department of Architecture at Penn State’s Stuckeman School. In a crowded field of architectural publications, it is our aim for the journal to serve as a much-needed platform for speculation, experimentation, dialogue, and debate, bridging the divide between the specialized bodies of architectural knowledge that prevail not only in our department but also, increasingly, in the discipline at large. From the start, Hyphen is envisioned as a fundamentally interdisciplinary proposition, both facilitating a more pronounced discursive interconnectivity between the four research “clusters” that presently constitute the academic foci of our department - design computation, sustainability, material matters, and culture, society, and space- and striving to build productive new relationships by connecting our community here in State College to a broader network of architects, designers, scholars, and scientists. With these ambitious goals in mind, we proudly invite students, faculty, researchers, and practitioners in architecture and related disciplines to join us in exploring a range of themes and provocations with the determination, courage, and rigor our times urgently require.
