The Discipline of Architecture


The Discipline of Architecture

A polemical look at how architectural knowledge is produced, disseminated, and received.

In the vast literature on architectural theory and practice, the ways in which architectural knowledge is actually taught, debated, and understood are too often ignored. 

The essays collected in this groundbreaking volume address the current state of architecture as an academic and professional discipline.

 The issues considered range from the form and content of architectural education to the architect's social and environmental obligations and the emergence of a new generation of architects.

 Often critical of the current paradigm, these essays offer a provocative challenge to accepted assumptions about the production, dissemination, and reception of architectural knowledge.

In this collection of interrogatory essays, Francis Duffy argues that the success of the architectural profession in post-war Britain is directly related to its stewardship of the intellectual property that he calls "architectural knowledge." The backdrop to this debate is the author's term of presidency of the RIBA between 1993 and 1995.
