This book offers an examination of practices related to architectural and urban projects. Faced with current changes and challenges, how can architects, urban planners, and designers preserve their mission, their place, their legitimacy, and their power? By developing relevant and efficient knowledge and skills to successfully articulate social demand and architectural and urban space. To this end, they are required to develop a project culture that is a culture of transformation rather than operationalization, a culture of invention rather than application. Urbanity is at stake.
A vade-mecum for students, as well as a clear and illuminating summary of current architectural practice.
