Thanks for your comment. You've provid...Scott,<br /><br />Thanks for your comment. You've provided the rationale for all of those who looked into the realities of the profession and wisely opted out. Your observation of the architect's vestigial position in broader modern economy are nothing new to us, since we have been living with this reality for as long as we can remember. Most people forego hiring an architect because they can pretty much get what the want through floor plan magazines, coffeetable books, homebuilder catalogues, or companies that prefabricate whatever kind of building you like. <br /><br />The truth is that architects have never really enjoyed a golden age where they were highly payed or whose work seemed lucrative. We've always been on the edge of bohemianism, and the most famous architects have been very close to the bohemian crowd, especially artists. <br /><br />The term 'architect' has in truth changed in meaning over the ages, and I won't be surprised at what an architect does in 20 years. If you were to find me during the middle ages, I might have been a studious monk ordering around masons on cathedral worksite, or one of those chief masons. In the future, I might look no different that those silicon valley drones writing code. corbusierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10814670210002847688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15171359.post-6143694228779674632014-01-11T08:47:05.464-08:002014-01-11T08:47:05.464-08:00I'm glad I finally finished this Magnus Opus o...I'm glad I finally finished this Magnus Opus of A&M. Your tone still remains rather chipper despite listing at length the increased burdens and reduced compensations of the average architect. I guess that probably reflects the blithe nature of idealists working at the "dream factory." All the same, I'm baffled.<br /><br />If your experience reflects the reality faced by most architects, I start to wonder what lies ahead for architecture in general. If modern economies have marginalized architects and their craft so extensively, will they not also relegate their accompanying creativity to the fringes as well? If architects have so effectively lost their stature, what is to stop the discipline of architecture in general from losing its relevance? Why should a builder not just settle for pre-existing designs of buildings? Why not leaf through a book of styles, mix and match, like they do in fashion magazines with clothes? If the appreciation with architecture is gone, why pay for architects? Let them become bohemians like the other equally useless (in the Oscar Wilde sense) artists. <br /><br />Technology seems to have supplied the necessary technical knowledge in constructing a building, leaving the architect to offer up a few new ideas about its "look." However, as Pablo Picasso said, and Steve Jobs repeated, "Good artists copy, great artists steal." Already, developing countries can reproduce the aesthetic that gives the brands and "starchitects" and other idea-workers their value. In light of this fact, I don't see what will stop most architects from becoming an anonymous mass of BIM monkeys working in first (or third) world sweatshops, oblivious to ideals, like the code monkeys that work for software companies, oblivious to the dreams that animated their entry into the industry in the first place. <br /><br />In that case, perhaps architects should have different ambitions than creating iconic buildings and making a name for themselves. For those who still want autonomy, they may have to humble themselves go small: smaller projects, smaller offices, smaller markets. Instead of peddling a mass volume of work to disgustingly rich emirs, focus on quality and efficiency to a locality. This may be unfeasible, but I imagine if a person works so hard for so little, he may as well work for himself or in a different profession altogether.<br /><br />Overall, great post. Keep writing Corbu, and serve as the voice of the little guys living in quiet desperation in front of their screens modelling away their life in obscurity...

Your point about the architectural design industry turning into more of a product design model would have been worthwhile to think about while composing this essay, but I was writing more from my own experience in the trenches rather than what I was reading or learning about in academic forums. <br /><br />I do recall a very interesting lecture given by one of the founders of Kieran-Timberlake, positing the fact that the current construction industry as it is constituted is extremely inefficient due to its inability to adapt to industrial methods that are prevalent in every other industries. In the end, it made a lot of sense to me (as it does to you I'm sure)and wondered when I could send the BIM file to the fabricator and cut out all the useless middlemen. <br /><br />That was about 5 years ago, and I don't see anything has changed from where I'm standing. I'm still waiting for the construction business model to implode. The behavior of clients has remained the same, the contractors are still doing what they do, and there are more outside consultants fiddling with the process than ever before. When you have all these different players in the process, politics is certain to prevail and will likely to delay or kill any other innovative way of working that threatens their power. What you say makes a lot of sense to me, but I simply cannot maintain your level of optimism after what I've seen so far.<br /><br />As to your comment on BIM, I agree that there is a lot of hype and we have yet to see how it really changes the building process in such a deep way. It's relatively new, and the industry has been slow to adopt it as a whole. But I was talking about how it has changed my job on a day to day basis, and the implication this has on a firm's social dynamics between younger and older workers. It's hard to know where BIM is headed, but it's undeniable that it has changed how architects go about their work. Still, BIM has been instrumental in your ultimate goal of "better data and better means of communicating and processing data". It's a bit clumsy at times, I'm sure, but data and what to do with it is big part of what BIM is about. I hope we get rid of this acronym, since in the end we will all be using one kind of BIM-inspired software or other. Kieran Timberlake were demonstrating how they used Revit to manufacture one of their temporary display pavilions, so maybe BIM is a kind of bridge to what you are describing.corbusierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10814670210002847688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15171359.post-84740350176791411732013-10-29T15:23:10.749-07:002013-10-29T15:23:10.749-07:00What you have failed to pick up on is the transfor...What you have failed to pick up on is the transformation of the construction industry into a manufacturing industry and the architectural design industry into a product design industry.<br /><br />The traditional construction business model is so full of holes that it can no longer support itself. it is immune to change and will therefore implode to be replaced by efficient means of data production and automated construction.<br /><br />The professional institutes on one hand and the unions on the other cannot stop these developments.<br /><br />BIM is over-hyped and the potential advantages are poorly understood even by many of its champions. What we need is better data and better means of communicating and processing data. BIM seems to have become an end in itself (never a good thing)and it is at risk of becoming a worthless acronym. Hopefully it gets dropped. im personally sick of it.<br /><br />However I am excited by the future which will be ruled by excellent designers who understand true digital craft.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
