Pairs is a journal of conversations edited by students at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. Each issue pairs subjects with objects: interviewees with contents from a Harvard or external archive. The journal does not have a theme, but instead organizes a diversity of threads and concerns relevant to our moment in the design disciplines: covering architecture, landscape architecture, and urban design and planning. The conversations are in turn not comprehensive accounts but open-ended exchanges, eliciting often candid and provisional ideas in progress.

Pairs 05 features conversations with Dele Adeyemo, Tibor Bielicky, Luis Callejas. Ellena Ehrl, Nathalie Frankowski, Cruz Garcia, Stefan Helmreich, Taylor Holloway, Arati Kumar-Rao, Rachel May, Timothy Morton, Mohsen Mostafavi, Sarah Oppenheimer, Marwan Rechmaoui, Tya Winn, Dong-Ping Wong, and Vivian Wu.
