The hum of an approaching drone initiates a soft chirp from the digital tree tag. The forester scans the tag for Tree #4475, scrolling through the data to verify its trunk diameter with the AI’s open request. The tree width is accurate, but a bloom of fungal caps around the trunk base gives the worker pause.

A meditation on belonging, migration, and homemaking, Leonie Sandercock’s “Unsettling ‘Home’ in Settler Societies,” demands rereading in conversation with current discourses on decolonization and Indigenous land rights. Republished with a new foreword by the author, the piece is offered as an exercise in “consciousness raising,” as an opportunity to practice foregrounding Indigenous struggles and knowledge in our daily encounters with ostensibly disparate scholarship. From conversations on climate change to legislation on immigration policy, Indigenous epistemologies help to frame and guide issues of marginalization, citizenship, and identity. With so much left to still “unsettle,” it is in this spirit that we offer, twenty years later, this piece once again. LEONIE SANDERCOCK

In disparate states of uncertainties arise unconventional explorations of what is extant and what is concealed, and within the bounds of here and there emerges the unprecedented possibility to reflect on our spatial and temporal practices as they’ve been made to exist in the in-between. Shifts; they manifest themselves in our encounters with the befores and afters of post-traumatic experiences. As conflict continues to engender consequences across both time and space, we are inclined to reconsider the inbetweenness of incidents in places that were once home. Interpretations of home are increasingly blurred as nostalgia overtakes the act of recalling the former self. In attempting to think through these explorations, we draw from a series of seemingly diverse scenes that invite a critically generative relationship of contradictions. While we have intentionally embarked on a journey to define what is indefinite, placelessness exerts itself here upon the nostalgic nature of place memory. Fragmented mnemonic experiences become the setting of profound thoughts and reminiscence. In other words, a transitional space is generated by deluded detachments of the past, denials of the present, and worries for the future. And so, as uncertainty overwhelms our spatial practices, what of its lingering traces might be said to still exist in our collective consciousness?

Thresholds first got its start as a department-wide zine packed with op-eds and student work. In a nod to that history and to the journal’s earliest issue and theme, architectural representation, Hashim Sarkis’ “The Problem of the Angels” is republished alongside a reflection by one of MIT Architecture’s 2021 Teaching Fellows, Mohamad Nahleh. A major proponent of counter-representation and the subversion of conventional modes of production, Nahleh o#ers a short history of our relationship to darkness to emphasize the necessity of developing and supporting the design of new worldviews. Student work sourced from MIT Architecture’s Core I Studio supplement these two texts with drawings that challenge how we think about and represent architecture today.
