The Other Architect

To find another way of building architecture, we have to be willing to broaden our understanding of what architecture is and what architects can do. From a set of varied approaches drawn from many people, places, and times, the other architect emerges: searching for different operating models, aiming for collaborative strategies, introducing strange concepts, and experimenting with new kinds of tools. Reading and analyzing these traces reminds us that architecture has the potential to do more than resolve a given set of problems: it can establish what requires attention today.

Interviews with Common Room, SITU Studio, Assemble, Who Builds Your Architecture?, and Rotor

Common Room, SITU Studio, Assemble, Who Builds Your Architecture?, and Rotor sometimes work around traditional architectural practice and sometimes explicitly define themselves as operating outside it. We invited them to visit The Other Architect and give public talks. Then we interviewed them.
