The encounter between architecture and sociology is part of the sixties, a flourishing decade if ever there was one for the social and human sciences as a whole.
In terms of architecture, the time has come to see the end of the "Beaux-Arts" model and the emergence of a committed practice. The figure of the artist-architect, the great orchestrator of all builders, is finally losing its prestige.
From then on, in a vast network of concepts, tools and angles of approach, the two fields, architectural and sociological, intertwine, giving rise to a multitude of theories and investigations, some of which have become great classics.
A careful exploration and critical synthesis of the work devoted to architecture to date—design, reception, uses, teaching, practice, etc.—this book, however, extends well beyond the observation. By combining it with the results of his own research, the author also presents a dynamic and contemporary picture of a profession whose identity and title are shaken by a constantly changing context.
This work constitutes a key to knowledge and understanding of the architectural universe, from the eternal student carts to its weakening in the face of the groundswell of neoliberalism.
