TELESIS
Telesis (ˈte-lə-səs) is an award-winning journal produced by students at the Gibbs College of Architecture. The first instance of the journal was published in the 1970s, when it was produced by OU students for several years before being discontinued. During the 2018-2019 school year, students from Gibbs College worked to revive Telesis under the theme of “Design Against” (2019). Since then, five more issues have been published, including “Metamedia” (2020), “Isolation” (2021), “Habitation” (2022), “Adaptive Practice” (2023) and “The Essence” (2024).
Telesis has earned the following awards and honors since 2019:
- 2022 Douglas Haskell Award for Student Journals (NY Center for Architecture) for “Isolation” (2021)
- 2021 Graham Foundation Grant to support “Habitation” (2022) and “Adaptive Practice” (2023)
- 2019 Douglas Haskell Award for Student Journals for “Design Against” (2019)
