“The old binaries that we, ‘the theory generation,’ used to fight about—theory versus history, formalism versus realism, autonomy versus social engagement, culture versus media, critical versus post-critical— seem quite flat and dry. There is much more volume now, more layering, more color, though, perhaps, less depth. George Baird can claim to have been one of the few to usher in this new imbrication of design research and a kind of ‘theory-in-the-making.’” K. Michael Hays
