Technology-driven disruption and entrepreneurial response have
become profound drivers of change in modern culture. Wholly new
organisations have rapidly emerged in many fields including retail,
print media and transportation, often dramatically altering both
the products and processes that define these industries.
Architecture has until now been minimally impacted by this
technologically driven upheaval. But there are many signs that this
period of tranquillity is ending. Startups are proliferating,
targeting diverse innovations from environmental performance to
large-scale 3D printing. Traditional architecture and engineering
firms are creating incubators and spin-offs to capitalise on their
innovations. Large and innovative organisations from outside the
professions are becoming interested in the built environment as the
next platform for technological and economic disruption. These new
directions for the discipline will potentially create radically new
types of practice, new building typologies, and new ways for both
design professionals and societies to engage with the built
environment. It is crucial that architectural discourse addresses
these possibilities, and begins to embrace technology-driven
entrepreneurship as a central theme for the future of architectural
practice. Contributors: Sandeep Ahuja, Ben van Berkel, Phil
