Architects After Architecture: Alternative Pathways for Practice
A cura di Harriet Harriss, Rory Hyde e Roberta Marcaccio
ed: Routledge

Al contrario di altri libri sulla “trasformazione digitale”, questo è disponibile anche in formato Kindle, quindi direi che iniziamo con il piede giusto.
Il libro contiene contributi e interviste da oltre quaranta fonti, tra cui Peter Barber, architetto, Matt Storus, che opera nell’ambito delle criptovalute, Chris Hildrey, designer di servizi, Shelley Penn, urbanista.

What can you do with a degree in architecture? Where might it take you? What kind of challenges could you address? Architects After Architecture reframes architecture as a uniquely versatile way of acting on the world, far beyond that of designing buildings.

Un libro insomma che prova a rispondere ad una domanda particolarmente pressante, in un Paese dove c’è un architetto ogni sette persone.
