These essays, written over a third of a century during a time of
huge ideological, technological and methodological upheaval,
witness British architecture's unceasing negotation with a vast and
rigorous set of constraints and its eventual emergence as a truly
modern profession - a special interest group responsive and
answerable to social changes but shaped and informed by values and
principles that may be on a longer cycle and perhaps a loftier
plane. The backdrop to this debate is the term of presidency of the
RIBA held by Francis Duffy, Chairman of DEGW, UK, between 1993 and
1995. During this period the architectural profession faced major
challenges and threats. The book looks at the relationship between
the architectural profession and the built environment in the
context of the great political and social cycles in the British
post-war period. Francis Duffy's writings provide additional
insights and viewpoints to the subject.
