Krátky popis
Leading architect Reinier de Graaf punctures the myths behind the
debates on what contemporary architecture is, with wit and
devastating honesty. Architecture, it seems, has become too
important to leave to architects. No longer does it suffice to
judge a building solely by its appearance, it must be measured, and
certified.When architects talk about 'Excellence',
'Sustainability', 'Well-being', 'Liveability', 'Placemaking',
'Creativity', 'Beauty' and 'Innovation' what do they actually
mean?In Architect, Verb, De Graaf dryly skewers the doublespeak and
hot air of an industry in search of an identity in the 21st
century. Who determines how to measure a 'green building'? Why is
Vancouver more 'liveable' than Vienna? How do developers get away
with advertising their buildings as promoting 'well-being'? Why did
Silicon Valley become so obsessed with devising 'creative' spaces
or developing code that replaces architects? How much revenue can
be attributed to the design of public space? Who gets to decide
what these measurements should be, and what do they actually mean?
And what does it mean for the future of our homes, cities,
planet?He also includes a biting, satirical dictionary of
'profspeak': the corporate language of consultants, developers and
planners from 'Active listening' to 'Zoom Readiness'.
