"x-change" and in otherwards Imprint 2026 outputs. Composed by Tuliza Sindi.
"x-change" is the annual publication of Carnegie Mellon Architecture (CM—A) that showcases work from first-year students to Ph.D. candidates. Inaugurated in 2017 as "EX-CHANGE," the publication has since evolved into "x-change" to more pointedly reflect its role as a platform for critical discourse and reflection.
in otherwards is the publishing imprint of CM—A that publishes books, folios and broadsheets on emerging and ongoing vocabularies, narratives, and cosmologies that shape the built environment toward epistemic plurality.
In this course, students work alongside the "x-change" and in otherwards Imprint director Tuliza Sindi, and the 2026 publication and exhibition graphic designers and copy editor, to gain direct experience with editorial and curatorial practices. Students also develop publishing systems and initiate the imprint’s first FOLIO publication. There is the option to continue working on these projects in paid roles over the summer and early fall.
