Description
A participative approach to architecture challenges many of the normative values of traditional architecture and in particular issues of authorship, control, aesthetics and the role of the user. This book questions whether a participative approach may lead to new spatial conditions as well as to new types of architectural practices, and investigates the way that the user has been included in the design process.
Where many architectural books concentrate on formal or aesthetic issues, this book opens up the social and political aspects of our built environment and the way that the eventual users may shape it. As government policies throughout the world call for more involvement by people in the making of their environment, the issue of participation has become of central concern to architects, clients, funders, users and government officers. This book seeks to make a major contribution to the field by arguing for a more considered approach to architectural participation.
Architecture and Participation brings together leading international practitioners and theorists, ranging from the 1960's pioneers of participation to some of the major contemporary figures in the field.Illustrated throughout, this titlewill be useful to students and practitioners.
