RMIT Design Archives Journal, Vol. 12, No. 1, 2022: Women, Writing, Design celebrates the contribution of Professor Emerita Harriet Edquist, RMIT University, to architectural and design history, archives, criticism, and exhibitions.  

The theme for this issue sprang from a workshop 'Looking inside Design' at The University of Melbourne in 2021. The aim of the workshop was to prepare for a special issue of Fabrications 32:1, edited by Professor Philip Goad and Catherine Townsend. This issue of Fabrications will be a Festschrift for Harriet Edquist and will explore the nexus between architecture, design, exhibitions and curating.
