Other critical writing focuses on the solitary prisoner as architectural critic, the camps and ghettos of Nazi-occupied Poland in World War II, and the image of the American city as wilderness. Toward a Minor Architecture has just been released by MIT Press, and introduces examples from 20th century fiction to unmask the prevailing mythologies of ‘major’ architectural practice.
over,under is a Boston-based interdisciplinary practice with expertise in architecture, urban design, graphic identity, and publications. Our approach is structured aroundsix working points that we implement in all projects, which range in scale from books to cities. Every project benefits from the varied professional experiences of theprincipals and their collaborators, resulting in designs that are intelligently shaped by a co-dependence of process and product. The firm's designs, research, and the exhibits of its pinkcomma gallery have been widely published.

Winifred Elysse Newman's work concentrates on the issue of perception in psychology and the history of science and philosophies of aesthetics in the arts. Her areas of interest include the History of Technology, History of Science, History/Theory of Architecture, and Urban Theory from the Enlightenment. Her dissertation, "Imaginative Beholding: Physiological Psychology, Aesthetics and the Discourse of Representation in Fin-de-Siècle Germany" concerns the transformation of the modes of representation in the arts and science in early modernity. Focusing on the 1860s–1890s German discourse in physiological psychology, the dissertation posits that the exchange between aesthetics and science of new knowledge produced by instruments and empirical methodologies of calibrating psychological responses to visual and sensual stimuli leads to an ontological shift in the concept of representation in the arts. Newman was a Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin and also received fellowships from the Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences and the Graduate School of Design. She has taught at Harvard University, Washington University in St. Louis, and the University of Tennessee. Additionally, she has published work in the United States and Germany and sits on the editorial board of the Journal of Architectural Education. She is also a partner in the design firm Architect of Record - www.aor.us.com.
