Untapped – U.S.

We are delighted to be stocking the journal of Untapped.

About Untapped
Untapped is a design journal that looks back to look forward.
Our stories identify important knowledge about improving the built environment, and contextualize it for today and tomorrow. We believe that both the near and distant past hold valuable insights for architects and designers. People have already solved, or are making headway on, many of the challenges the industry currently faces—but such achievements are often overlooked among an excess of data or in the pursuit of innovation, or when they are presented in convoluted ways. Our stories unpack and add a fresh critical perspective to those achievements, explaining why they’re significant and how they can be useful right now. Untapped is not anti-innovation. We believe that the most efficient path to progress begins with building on what we know. This is the information that the journal is dedicated to gathering, making sense of, and reflecting on, and that we can’t afford to forget. Collectively, Untapped’s stories form an encyclopedia of ideas: a gateway to knowledge that serves as a timeless, ever-growing resource for all.

Untapped is an editorially independent initiative of the design company Henrybuilt. The journal does not feature any of its projects or products. Untapped’s focus—seeking to understand and leverage the best of the past to create a better future, a guiding principle of Henrybuilt—is what connects the two ventures.
