Description
Hunch 12 contains twelve thought-provoking contributions by leading and emerging architects, critics, and scholars that explore the role of bureaucracy in shaping contemporary architecture.
Architecture is contingent on the reality of satisfying a client, meeting building codes, acquiring funding, and gaining political support in order to be realised. From governmental regulations and new organisational models for professional practice to contrasting forms of urbanism and divergent interpretations of economic value in relation to cultural capital, the authors focus on how select determinants affect the built environment. At the same time they offer architectural speculations, critical observations, and historical perspectives to rethink these processes in order to influence the buildings and cities of today and tomorrow.
Along with these topical contributions which are supplemented by marginalia of short stories, annotations, terminologies, and inventoriesfour 1,000-word texts and a visual essay complement the issue to reflect on broader theoretical aspects of architecture culture.
