From literature about architects losing leadership position in the industry to others arguing that architects must follow the more specialised members of the building team, the value of architects has come into question in contemporary globalised construction discourse.
From Reality to Fiction
Practiceopolis: A Second Life for Architectural Drawings in a Fictional Graphic Novel
The novel portrays how the architectural profession is not autonomous but implicated in the values and agendas of other actors in the industry with whom it cooperates.
From Reality to Fiction
Practiceopolis: A Second Life for Architectural Drawings in a Fictional Graphic Novel
The novel gives a second life to a set of architectural drawings and correspondences communicating its argument through a mixture of text and graphics.
Through this graphic novel, architectural drawings have acquired a new life outside their conventional function as a tool for communication between the project’s team.
With the increasing specialisation in the process of contemporary building production, the value and the role of architects have come into question in construction discourse. This what this book tries to investigate.
