Based on many years of personal observation, Habraken's important
new book critically examines the role of the architect as a
professional descendent of Palladio, and as an heir to his
architectural legacy. Seven innovative and carefully crafted essays
explore the widening ideological schism between today's architects
whose core values, identity and education remain rooted in the
Renaissance legacy of creating artful 'masterpieces', and the
practical demands on a profession which acts within an evolving,
ubiquitous and autonomous built environment or 'field'.
Clearly written yet expressing complex evolving ideas, this
extended argument opens a new forum of debate across design theory,
professional practice and academic issues. Moving the subject on
from a historical perspective, Habraken shows how architects are
increasingly involved in the design of everyday buildings. This
must lead to a reassessment of architects' identities, values and
education, and the contribution of the architect in the shapingof
the built environment.
