Summary:

"There is no denying the transformational role of the computer in the evolution of contemporary architectural practice. But does this techno-determinlst account tell the whole story? Building (in) the Future: Recasting Labor in Architecture confronts this important question by examining the fundamental human relationships that characterize contemporary design and construction. Eighteen contributors including designers, engineers, fabricators, contractors, construction managers, software developers, and scholers examine how contemporary practice of production are reshaping the design/construction process." "Through observations, arguments, and detailed project explorations these diverse contributors describe new models of practice and reorganizations of labor for the twenty-first century. Essays include a reconsideration of craft in light of digital fabrication; an exploration of new methods of collaboration; an analysis of changes in contracts and standards; and an assessment of the new market realities of mass production and customization."--Jacket.
