Untapped is a design journal that looks back to look forward. Their stories identify important knowledge about improving the built environment, and contextualize it for today and tomorrow.
 
They believe that both the near and distant past hold valuable insights for architects and designers. People have already solved, or are making headway on, many of the challenges the industry currently faces—but such achievements are often overlooked among an excess of data or in the pursuit of innovation, or when they are presented in convoluted ways. Their stories unpack and add a fresh critical perspective to those achievements, explaining why they’re significant and how they can be useful right now.
 
Untapped is not anti-innovation. They believe that the most efficient path to progress begins with building on what we know. This is the information that the journal is dedicated to gathering, making sense of, and reflecting on, and that we can’t afford to forget.
 
Collectively, Untapped’s stories form an encyclopedia of ideas: a gateway to knowledge that serves as a timeless, ever-growing resource for all. And, Untapped is our New York Architecture + Design Book Club collaborator! More info here.
