Created in 2008 alongside the new HEAD (Geneva University of Art and Design), ISSUE was developed as an editorial path to the richness of projects conducted at the school, where design and art were now to cohabitate. While ISSUE’s first decade of existence was in print format, it shifted to the web format on March 1st, 2019. ISSUE is at the same time a research platform, a scientific journal, a resource, and an archive.
A multidisciplinary and multimedia periodical set up in imitation of the school, ISSUE intends for the singularity of its approaches to be recognized, linking critical reflection and experimental creation while strengthening the role of the HEAD as a place for knowledge production and transmission.
