Will the trip, again the trip, be that important? What distinguishes the travel of architects from the travel of mass tourism? At present, all, or almost all, schools of architecture are concerned with the pedagogical meaning of travel, encourage it, institute processes to make it happen. It is consensual, I believe. The strength of this consensus is not limited to the possibility of direct contact with other spaces, as Foucault calls them. It brings with it the recognition of the value of a predisposition for the cleansing of the soul, of the cleansing rite of the road, Let's forgive by Kerouac. We, the architects, will interpret what fascinates us with the clear soul of everyday alienation.

"Architectural practices worldwide have to deal with increasingly complex design requirements. How do practices acquire the ability to do so? The Changing Shape of Practice provides a handbook of examples for practices that wish to integrate more research into their work and a reference book for students that seek to prepare themselves for the changing shape of practice in architecture. It addresses the increasing integration of research undertaken in architectural practices of different sizes ranging from small to very large practices from the UK, USA, Europe and Asia. The book is organized according to the size of the practices which is significant in that it addresses the different structures and resourcing requirements that are enabled by specific practice sizes, as this determines and constrains the type, scope and modes of research available to a given practice. The practices covered include: Woods Bagot, Perkins + Will, White, AECOM, UN Studio, Shop Architects, PLP Architecture, Kieran Timberlake, 3XN, ONL, AZPML, Thomas Herzog + Partners, Herreros Arquitectos, Spacescape, OCEAN Design Research Association. By taking stock of the current shape of practice, the book provides essential information for professional architects who are integrating research into their practice"--Provided by publisher.

In this ground-breaking book, the first to provide an overview of the theory and practice of experimental architecture, Rachel Armstrong explores how interdisciplinary, design-led research practices are beginning to redefine the possibilities of architecture as a profession. Drawing on experts from disciplines as varied as information technology, mathematics, poetry, graphic design, scenography, bacteriology, marine applied science and robotics, Professor Armstrong delineates original, cutting-edge architectural experiments through essays, quotes, poetry, equations and stories. Written by an acknowledged pioneer of architectural experiment, this visionary book is ideal for students and researchers wishing to engage in experimental, practice-based architectural and artistic research. It introduces radical new ideas about architecture and provides ideas and inspiration which students and researchers can apply in their own work and proposals, while practitioners can draw on it to transform their creative assumptions and develop thereby a distinctive "edge" to stand out in a highly competitive profession.
