Autotelic Architect explores how movements towards more
self-initiated projects, greater collaboration and design activism
have changed how architects and designers are practicing, as well
as the kinds of projects they are working on. Similar to the
autotelic self that transforms potential problems into enjoyable
challenges, the 'Autotelic Architect' does not avoid societal
changes, but instead learns to harness their creative potential.
Using new research and case studies from past and present, the
author analyses the educational and professional implications of
operating as a 'non-conventional' progressive participatory design
practice. Drawing on a range of global case studies of pioneering
architects in the field, she reflects upon current and future
trends at local, national and international level, and additionally
examines marketing and practical issues for architects. Illustrated
with more than 30 black and white images, this is a compelling read
for any practicing architect.
