For decades, architects have seen their traditional role diminish in scope as more and more of their responsibilities have been taken over by other disciplines within the building construction industry.

On one side of this argument are those who believe that architects must refocus their attention on the internal demands of the discipline.

On the other are those who argue that architects must, instead, reacquaint themselves with what many still believe to be the discipline's core mission of advancing social progress and promoting the public good, and at the same time the scope of their traditional disciplinary remit.

Presenting a variety of views and perspectives, this book takes us to the heart of what freedom means for architecture as it adapts and evolves in response to the changing contexts in which it is practised in the 21st century.
