Abstract

En 1998, le ministère de la culture et de la communication a lancé un vaste chantier de réflexion sur l'avenir de la profession d'architecte, souhaitant en encourager et en accompagner les mutations internes. Quatre groupes de travail, consacrés à l'exercice de la profession, à son champ d'activité réglementé, à sa représentation et à son inscription dans le contexte européen et international, ont été mis en place afin d'offrir un cadre à cette réflexion. L'ensemble des représentants de la profession, mais aussi leurs partenaires et les autres acteurs de l'architecture de la ville et de l'aménagement de l'espace, y ont trouvé un lieu de rencontres, de débats et de confrontations. Cet ouvrage rend compte des travaux menés par ces groupes, dans leur richesse et leur diversité, sans pour autant gommer les " divergences constructives " qui ont émergé au cours des débats. Il constitue une source importante d'informations et de réflexion pour les membres de la profession, pour leurs partenaires ainsi que pour tout citoyen attentif aux choses de l'architecture et de la ville. Il dresse un état des lieux des difficultés du métier d'architecte en France à la fin du XXe siècle et témoigne de la nécessaire refondation de la profession autour de quelques grands axes : adaptation de la notion d'acte architectural aux secteurs en développement, renforcement de la maîtrise d'œuvre des architectes, revalorisation de la profession...

Abstract

At the heart of this book is a simple and profound proposition: to 'do' architecture is to immerse oneself in a conflictual process of material production--participation is not a productive encounter of multiple practitioners and stakeholders, but a set of conflicts, negotiations, maneuvers, and swindles between and within a multiplicity of agents, human and nonhuman alike--equally including architects, clients, financiers, and builders, say, but also silicon, plastic, concrete, each with its conflicting aims and different material means to achieve them. Every building is thus the materialization of such encounter. So, despite the hubris of the field, none of the parties to such an encounter can ultimately control that the result architecture (unlike real estate), according to Miessen, belongs to no one but affects and is affected by everyone--and this proposition asks that we reframe questions of ethics and politics. They can no longer be the property of an individual but a collective set of interrelations--it is through such profound departure from the terms of architecture that Miessen's new book demands nothing less than to reimagine how we might finally become citizens.

Abstract

Out of Architecture is both a call to reassess the architecture profession and its education, and a toolkit for graduates and working architects to untangle their skills, passions, and value from traditional architectural practice and consider alternate pathways. Written by design professionals and expert career consultants, this book is informed by numerous client accounts as well as the authors’ own stories and routes out of architecture. The initial chapters follow the narrative of a typical architecture training in the US, highlighting the many highs and lows, skills honed, and ultimately the huge disconnect that can occur between architectural education and practice. Subsequent chapters explore a disillusionment with the profession, unhealthy work cultures, mentorship, working with lead architects, toxic perfectionism, and the notion of a “calling.” Authors then present the hopeful accounts of many architects who escaped a profession known for its grueling working conditions to find fulfilling, well-paying, creative jobs that better utilize the skills of architecture than the architectural profession itself. Written in a unique combination of storytelling and analysis, this patchwork of client and author stories makes for an immersive, provocative, and enjoyable read. A wide range of architecture students, graduates, educators, and professionals will recognize themselves within the pages of this book and find prompts to reassess their working practices, teaching styles, and the profession itself. It will be of particular value to those students skeptical of joining the architecture workforce, as well as those further along and considering a career change.
