About
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 contributors describe new models of practice and reorganizations of labor for the twenty-first century. Chapters include a reconsideration of craft in light of digital fabrication; an exploration of new methods of collaboration; an analysis of changes in contracts and standards; and an assessment of the new market realities of mass production and customization. Building (in) the Future includes contributions by architects James Carpenter, Mark Goulthorpe, Sheila Kennedy, Charlie Lazor, Joshua Price-Ramus, Robert A.M. Stern, and James Timberlake; BIM manager Rodd Merchant; curator Barry Bergdoll, engineer Klaus Bollinger; lawyers Howard W. Ashcraft, Jr. and Chris Noble; marketing manager Ewa Magnusson; and professors Branko Kolarevic, Reinhold Martin, and Moshen Mostafavi.
