At a time when the technologies and techniques of producing the
built environment are undergoing significant change, this book
makes central architecture's relationship to industry. Contributors
turn to historical and theoretical questions, as well as to key
contemporary developments, taking a humanities approach to the
Industries of Architecture that will be of interest to
practitioners and industry professionals, as much as to academic
researchers, teachers and students. How has modern architecture
responded to mass production? How do we understand the necessarily
social nature of production in the architectural office and on the
building site? And how is architecture entwined within wider fields
of production and reproduction-finance capital, the spaces of
regulation, and management techniques? What are the particular
effects of techniques and technologies (and above all their
inter-relations) on those who labour in architecture, the buildings
they produce, and the discursive frameworks we mobilise to
understand them?
