Architecture and Participation

TRAMA

A participative approach to architecture challenges many of the normative values of traditional architecture and in particular issues of authorship, control, aesthetics and the role of the use. This book questions whether a participative approach may lead to new spatial conditions as well as to new types of architectural practices and investigates the way that the user has been included in the design process. The contributors include both practitioners and theorists who provide both background theoretical approaches to the subject as well as concrete outcomes. The book will be useful to both students and practitioners as well as policy makers in the field.

NOTE EDITORE

Bringing together leading international practitioners and theorists in the field, ranging from the 1960s pioneers of participation to some of the major contemporary figures in the field, Architecture and Participation opens up the social and political aspects of our built environment, and the way that the eventual users may shape it. Divided into three sections, looking at the politics, histories and practices of participation, the book gives both a broad theoretical background and more direct examples of participation in practice.Respectively the book explores participation's broader context, outlining key themes and including work from some seminal European figures and shows examples of how leading practitioners have put their ideas into action. Illustrated throughout, theauthorspresent tostudents, practitionersand policy makers an exploration of how a participative approach may lead to new spatial conditions, as well as to new types of architectural practices, and investigates the way that the user has been included in the design process.
