As advancements in transportation and technology continue to close
the gap between architect, client, builder and site, critique and
place, this book considers how architects, designers, theorists,
and critics design, describe and critique future and past
constructions in absentia. This book engages with remote practice,
providing students, academics and professionals with the
understanding and tools they need to rethink the role of the
distant and disconnected in making, thinking and writing
architecture - a skill which is becoming increasingly important in
contemporary education and practice. Bringing together a collection
of 16 essays and creative works from a diverse and respected group
of scholars and designers, this book reflects upon the challenges
and opportunities which remote practices occasion in architecture.
Part One: Practice and Pedagogy investigates how a range of
technological and economic advancements continue to redefine
notions of connectedness in the practice of architecture at a
distance and explores what it means to teach and study architecture
at a distance from peer and place. Part Two: Critique and
Performativity consists of a wide range of questions that unpack
notions about situatedness, subjectivity, the body in space, and
what occurs when disparate things are suddenly made proximate. The
essays and creative works enable thematic as well as historically
and culturally contextual understanding of the topic, highlighting
important connections and changes across time.
