Oz is dedicated to the exploration of ideas in design through the publication of diverse responses to theoretical issues. Each year, students seek out essays and projects from leading practitioners, scholars and artists worldwide. The dialog enriches the staff’s education, and the journal serves as a printed record allowing for expanded participation and debate for students, faculty, alumni and others. Since its inception in 1979, Oz has received accolades and recognitions including the Douglas Haskell Award for Student Journalism from the American Institute of Architects New York, and numerous awards for graphic design and printing.
