Architect d.b.a.: On Redefining the Roles of the Architect Today - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

In a world demanding increased specialization, how does the architectural profession, based on a broad, multidisciplinary foundation, redefine itself? ARCHITECT d.b.a. (the legal shorthand for “doing business as”) is an exploration of the various roles architects assume, presented through a series of essays written by participants of the seven 2015 AIANY Global Dialogues symposia and supported by excerpts from each of the forty presentations made throughout the year by thoughtleaders, architects, artists, planners, real estate developers, and city officials from around the world. The architects here—“doing business as” planners, artists, policy advocates, storytellers, event creators, shelter providers, and educators—establish a framework of the range of trajectories that delineate our field. By exploring each of these roles, at first independently and then together through the concluding essay by Nader Tehrani, ARCHITECT d.b.a. outlines the new and inclusionary architectural profession of today, a twenty-first century Renaissance in the field of architecture.
