Summary:

The word 'collaborative' should make you as suspicious as the word 'sustainable' since both are used to vindicate projects and relationships. But appearing collaborative, like appearing to be happy in the office, is a condition of professional employability, and so the word seems unavoidable and even empty, especially for architects who can't make a project on their own anyway. At the same time, we hear more and more about 'collectives.' Both concepts reflect a society anxious that its mounting crises have something to do with unchecked individualism. Architects are traditionally uncomfortable with acknowledging their dependence on other actors, so My Invisible Friend invites them to present projects made with non-architects and to reveal the invisible friends without whom their work would be impossible.
