About this book

Der Architekt der Zukunft – Aspekte eines sich wandelnden Berufsbildes

With the rise of the global economy and the increasing interconnectedness of all fields, architects find themselves confronted with new tasks and fields of activity – the profession is in flux.

Renowned international experts from Europe and the United States discuss this development in twenty-five technical papers: What competences do architects have that can help them to meet the challenges of new tasks? What additional skills and knowledge will they need?

What concrete strategies are architects already using today to hold their own in new fields of activity? What can be learned from this? The book begins with a brief introduction by the editor, who frames these problems and issues and embeds the essays within the larger context of contemporary architectural discourse. Short biographies of the authors at the end of the book round off the publication.

Mit fortschreitender globaler Ökonomisierung und Vernetzung entstehen für Architekten neue Betätigungsfelder und das Berufsbild befindet sich im Wandel.

International renommierte Experten aus Europa und den USA setzen sich in 25 Fachbeiträgen mit dieser Entwicklung auseinander:

Welche Kompetenzen bringen Architekten mit, um sich neuen Aufgabenbereichen zu stellen?

Welche Fähigkeiten und Kenntnisse müssen zusätzlich erworben werden?

Mit welchen konkreten Strategien behaupten sich Architekten bereits heute in neu erschlossenen Betätigungsfeldern? Welche Einsichten können daraus gewonnen werden?

Am Anfang des Buches steht eine kurze Einführung des Herausgebers, der diese Fragestellungen verklammert und die Beiträge in den aktuellen Architekturdiskurs einbettet. Kurzbiografien der Autoren im Anhang des Buches runden die Publikation ab.

With texts by international renowned specialists such as Ole Bouman, Rem Koolhaas, Andreas Ruby, Marc Wigley

Interdisciplinary contributions to a key topic in current architecture discourse
