We’re thrilled to share that Claire Weisz, Principal and Co-founder of WXY, has contributed to Issue 52 of the Harvard Design Magazine: Instruments of Service!

Her essay, “Set Up to Fail: How the Parts of Design Have Taken Over the Purpose of Practice,” critically examines the limitations of the architectural profession’s “Basic Services” framework—a linear, five-phase process that restricts creativity and the broader potential of design.

Claire highlights how WXY’s work challenges these boundaries, showcasing innovative approaches that redefine the scope of architectural practice.
