This cumulative thesis exhibition projects the diversity of our backgrounds and engages media in different modes of circulation, with a varying range of intention, purpose, scale, and audience while placing significant emphasis on our sef-puplished thesis book. The enviornment acted as a respite among the convention center chaos to take a seat and enjoy a closer look at our texts. 

“All design is essentially an act of circulation, a cyclical practice of knowledge distribution — we read, experience, and interpret. Circulation determines the way an idea is shared, how a message goes out into the world, and how others receive, respond to, and interact with it. Information is transferred from the public, to the designer, and back to the public.”
