What can you do with a degree in architecture? Where might it take you? What kind of challenges could you address?
Architects After Architecture reframes architecture as a uniquely versatile way of acting on the world, far beyond that of designing buildings. The book features 40 practitioners who have used their architectural training in new and resourceful ways to tackle the climate crisis, work with refugees, advocate for diversity, start tech companies, become leading museum curators, tackle homelessness, draft public policy, become developers, design video games, shape public discourse, and much more.
The editors – Harriet Harriss, Rory Hyde, Roberta Marcaccio – will introduce the newly published volume and discuss how the various contributions describe a future of architecture that is diverse and engaged, expanding the limits of the discipline, and offering new paths forward in times of crisis.
Harriet Harriss is an architect and dean of the Pratt School of Architecture in New York.
Rory Hyde is a design advocate for the Mayor of London and author of Future Practice (2012).
Roberta Marcaccio is an editor and an educator at the Architectural Association in London.
