"x-change" is the annual exhibition and publication of Carnegie Mellon Architecture (CM—A) that showcases work from first-year students to Ph.D. candidates. Inaugurated in 2017 as "EX-CHANGE," it 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 "x-change" and in otherwards director Tuliza Sindi, graphic designers, and copy editor, to design the 2027 exhibition, review the "x-change" 2027 publication submissions, and develop publishing and production infrastructure for the Imprint. There is the option to continue working on these projects in paid roles over the summer and early fall.
