Divisive Tactics: Design-Production Practices in Architecture
Perhaps most fundamental to architecture is the marriage of conception and execution, aesthetics and materiality. This ideal persists, but some major commissions today are awarded not to one architectural firm, but to two or more firms that divide up the labor, severing what is called the building's “aesthetic design” from construction-related services. This study is an attempt to understand the motives for entering such arrangements and the implications for buildings, firms, and the profession as a whole.
