Discipline Of Architecture By Piotrowski, Andrzej Andrzej Piotrowski,

Discipline of ArchitectureAuthor(s): Andrzej Piotrowski, Julia Williams Robinson\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: University of Minnesota Press, United States\nImprint: University of Minnesota Press\nISBN-13: 9780816636655, 978-0816636655\nSynopsis\nIn 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 architects 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.\n\nContributors: Sherry Ahrentzen, U of Wisconsin-Milwaukee; Stanfor.
