Abstract:
|
It is not new to talk about investor-led building production as a contrast to common needs, though the
architect is rarely mentioned as an important figure in these phenomena. Neither are the users and the
community initiatives, who seek process changes, becoming therefore the link that justifies and further
feeds the space-production-cycle with arguments. Architecture is widely discussed in terms of
technicalities and production efficiency among its own technician circle, with little regard to its means
to promote better living conditions where users, not only investors, are important drivers. The
essential definition and visualization by the architects of their own profession and their role in society
- hypothetically defeated - is the trigger to allow any changes in the sector to happen. |
