| Abstract | "The study of the architectural discipline suffers from an increasing disconnect between its teaching and its professional practice. In this edited collection, eighteen architectural voices address this disconnect by reflecting on the ways in which they exercise the architectural discipline in three ways: research, teaching, and practice. This book argues that the totality of activities encompassed by the architectural profession can be best fulfilled when reconsidering the critical interactions between these three fields in the everyday exercise of the profession. Split into three parts, 'Architecture as Research', 'Architecture as Pedagogy,' and 'Architecture as 'Practice', each section focuses on one of these three dimensions while establishing continuity with the other two. In doing so, the book not only favors a more fulfilling interaction between academia and the profession, but also reinforces the implementations of design theory and research in everyday teaching and practice. The contributions come from eighteen teams of architects operating from geographically diverse locations, including Pezo von Ellrichshausen in Chile, Kengo Kuma & Associates in Japan, Barclay & Crousse in Peru, Shift in Iran, Heinrich Wolff in South Africa, and People's Architecture Office in China, opening the design conversation to larger contexts and framing continuity and inclusion in time. Written for students, instructors and practitioners alike, the inspiring reflections in this volume encourage readers to grow as architects and play an instrumental role in transforming the built environment"-- Provided by publisher. |
