ABOUT US



DATUM is a journal of A/architecture and design founded and edited by students at Iowa State University. The publication is a medium for critical academic discourse through the exchange of bold design and progressive ideas.

Our publication and discussions seek to catalogue our community and act as a medium for further inquiry and critique of both academia and design practice.  

DATUM strives to be a platform for all people to voice their opinions and concerns, show their creations, and share their thoughts.
