Design And Technology Report Series

Over the past decade the Harvard Graduate School of Design has published its own Design and Technology Report Series. The educational and research program at the school has fostered many new initiatives through its coursework, doctoral students, research, and symposia. This report series documents immediate or recent developments in the area. The series covers:

  • Coursework – Results of innovative courses (papers, projects).
  • Research
    1. Advanced doctoral theses (shortened summaries)
    2. Internal research projects conducted by Faculty
    3. Externally sponsored research projects
  • Conference or symposium proceedings
  • White papers that define trends and projected changes within technology

Reports may be acquired through the Harvard Design School publications site, or in person at the office of student services at the GSD. Current reports include the following:
