Building (in) the Future

Recasting Labor in Architecture

Phillip Bernstein, Peggy Deamer

Building (in) the Future confronts important questions about the transformational role of the computer in the evolution of contemporary architectural practice by examining the fundamental human relationships that characterize contemporary design and construction. Thirty-four contributors including designers, engineers, fabricators, contractors, construction managers, planners, and scholars examine how contemporary practices of production are reshaping the design/construction process.

Through observations, arguments, and detailed project explorations these diverse contributors describe new models of practice and reorganizations of labor for the 21st century.
