Testing to Failure: Design and Research in MIT's Department of Architecture. by Hirschman, Sarah, ed. : William Stout Architectural Books : Books on architecture, art, urban planning, graphic and industrial design, furniture and interior design, and landscape architecture.

Following 2009�s Uncertain Futures, this book presents a range of provocative and cutting-edge student and faculty research within the school. It also presents a selection of transcripts from symposia and panel discussions on the occasion of MIT�s 150th Anniversary celebrations in April 2011. Along with architectural installations developed and produced for the FAST (Festival of Art Science and Technology) Light festival in May 2011, these transcripts present a picture of how architecture at MIT engages with the discipline at large, and the important role that design plays within the creative intellectual life of the Institute.
