“Where does an architect, as a cultural contributor, stand in the present day? How is the creative dimension relevant when the industry seems to be focusing more on service than creative thinking?”

Texts by Christian Volkmann
Edited by Oscar Riera Ojeda

 

Every aspiring architect dreams of building a house from scratch and experiencing every phase up close, from the design to the finished building. Sometimes this really happens: this book describes an architect’s real life experience, wearing multiple hats, of the comprehensive process (planning, design, finance, permits, coordination, construction etc.) involved in the design and construction of a small building in Harlem, New York.

Undercover Architect suggests that the way in which architects position themselves in the practice urgently needs to change: the creation of tangible artifacts requires more, not less practical involvement and greater application of comprehensive competencies in the field. Besides providing an in-depth account of the evolution of this specific project in Harlem, it is also aimed at helping the next generation of architects eager to make extraordinary designs through a proper understanding of the playing field and engagement with hands on design-build activities.
