thresholds is the bi-annual critical journal of architecture, art and media culture produced by editors in the Department of Architecture of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

thresholds editors produce two independently themed journals a year. The best submissions from fine arts, design, graphics, media arts and sciences, film, photography, architecture and theory are selected based on their holistic fit around the given theme. Graphic and pictorial works play as strong a role in each journal as do works of critial writing.

The thresholds advisory board is composed of internationally recognized figures in various fields of visual culture. The Board provides intellectual support for theme development, and brings forth a large amount of high quality submissions for each issue. As a result, the work of many important, international figures has been featured. (See: Kenneth Frampton and Michael McKinnell in Journal #12; Trinh T.
