Friction wears down, friction warms up. Architects, operating in a field changing precipitously and in many different directions, are well accustomed to forces of friction. Mutable social, economic, and environmental conditions signal a new urgency for those engaged in the discipline, calling on them to confront, absorb, and respond to the challenges of our time. Investigating how contemporary voices from both within the field of architecture and beyond it are reframing the societal conditions that structure their work, this issue approaches friction as both a catalyst and a method: in one sense bringing into focus the questions and obstacles shaping contemporary practice, while in another engaging disparate actors to reinforce the productive capacity of exchange.
