Kyle Miller – Bartlett International Lecture Series

Grids, Plans, Profiles and other Possible Mediums

Lecturer's Abstract 

Kyle Miller presents his most recent design research and discusses Possible Mediums, a book co-authored with Kelly Bair, Kristy Balliet, and Adam Fure that introduces a collection of sixteen speculative design mediums by emerging architects.

Possible Mediums arranges projects according to shared technical and aesthetic traits, creating a vibrant taxonomy of contemporary design in the United States. Kyle's lecture articulates how Possible Mediums, as a curatorial project, establishes design as a collective endeavor propelled by the open exchange of ideas and techniques. Possible Mediums does not offer a systematic theory, a manifesto, or a banal survey, but rather a projection of architecture and knowledge to come.
