Transect
About
Transect is the student-produced architectural journal of NJIT’s Hillier College of Architecture and Design. The publication seeks to contribute to and situate the school’s work within broader stands of contemporary architectural discourse by publishing student projects and essays as well as original essays by faculty, scholars, and practitioners. Transect is published once a year, in physical and digital form.
Originally begun in 2019 as a catalog of exemplary student work to serve as a resource for students, Transect has grown in scope to provide critical commentary on and explorations of the nature and potentials of architecture and its pedagogy while arguing for its continued relevance. The publication takes its name from the title of the school’s Spring 2019 lecture series and embodies a way of seeing that encourages interdisciplinarity, mixed methods of presentation, and engagement across the wide and varied landscape of architectural discourse, past and present.
Transect also regularly publishes student-produced architectural writing in a tabloid called Iteration that is published physically and digitally on Substack. Previous topics have included inclusionary spaces, school/life balance in architecture school, and architectural criticism of NJIT’s Newark campus.
