Dichotomy

Dichotomy, a student-published journal of the Detroit Mercy School of Architecture & Community Development, strives to be the critical link to the discourse on design, architecture, urbanism and community development.

Like the institution, Dichotomy focuses on social justice and critical thought concerning intellectual, spiritual, ethical and social development issues occurring in and outside of Detroit. The aim of Dichotomy is to disseminate these relevant investigations conducted by students, faculty and professionals.

Since 1978, Dichotomy has been a repository of academic discourse from students and professors as well as luminaries in the fields of architecture and design. Each issue focuses on a simple yet provocative theme around which articles and featured projects are curated.
