Pairs is a journal of conversations edited by students at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design (GSD). Each issue pairs subjects with objects: interviewees with contents from an archive. It 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 06 features conversations with Francesca Benedetto, Sahel Al Hiyari, Agnes Denes, Mark Lee, Jimenez Lai, David Chipperfield, Sandra Barclay, Stan Allen, Ronan Bouroullec, Anne Holtrop, Dima Srouji, Tim Rohan, Joshua Bennett, and Alexandra Arenes.
