Abstract
Thresholds first got its start as a department-wide zine packed with op-eds and student work. In a nod to that history and to the journal’s earliest issue and theme, architectural representation, Hashim Sarkis’ “The Problem of the Angels” is republished alongside a reflection by one of MIT Architecture’s 2021 Teaching Fellows, Mohamad Nahleh. A major proponent of counter-representation and the subversion of conventional modes of production, Nahleh o#ers a short history of our relationship to darkness to emphasize the necessity of developing and supporting the design of new worldviews. Student work sourced from MIT Architecture’s Core I Studio supplement these two texts with drawings that challenge how we think about and represent architecture today.
