Through a collection of 13 chapters, Peggy Deamer examines the
profession of architecture not as an abstraction, but as an
assemblage of architectural workers. What forces prevent architects
from empowering ourselves to be more relevant and better rewarded?
How can these forces be set aside by new narratives, new
organizations and new methods of production? How can we sit at the
decision-making table to combat short-term real estate interests
for longer-term social and ethical value? How can we pull
architecture-its conceptualization, its pedagogy, and its
enactment-into the 21st century without succumbing to its
neoliberal paradigm? In addressing these controversial questions,
Architecture and Labor brings contemporary discourses on creative
labor to architecture, a discipline devoid of labor consciousness.
This book addresses how, not just what, architects produce and
focuses not on the past but on the present. It is sympathetic to
the particularly intimate way that architects approach their design
work while contextualizing that work historically, institutionally,
economically, and ideologically. Architecture and Labor is sure to
be a compelling read for pre-professional students, academics, and
practitioners.
