Summary:
Based on a 2009 symposium at the Delft University of Technology, the fifteen essays in Architecture as a Craft present architecture as a self-contained craft discipline. Social demands upon architects are increasing, for instance that of sustainability, with strict requirements imposed before designs are even considered.
