Architecture of Parts : Architects

This book is unique in describing the history of post war reconstruction from an entirely new perspective by focusing on the changing relationship between architects and building workers. It considers individual, as well as collective, interactions with technical change and in doing so brings together, for the first time, an extraordinary range of sources including technical archives, oral history and visual material to describe the construction process both during and in the decades after the war. It focuses on the social aspects of production and the changes in working life for architects.

  • ""Providing a new perspective on post-war reconstruction in Britain, this book examines the social context of the construction industry in the immediate post-war period and culminating in the industrialised building boom of the 1960s and 70s. It explores policy changes in education, training and employment in relation to the experience of work for both architects and building workers, demonstrating the extreme separation of design from production, the factor cited in the Emmerson Report of 1962 as a major contributor to the failure of the British building industry to fully modernise. Christine Wall charts the erosion of the elusive and tenuous link between designers and builders and its residual presence in the discourse of skill through an examination of changes in education and training, and examines competing architectural positions on standardisation and dimensional co-ordination in building. Using analysis of visual, oral and documentary material An Architecture of Parts offers a compelling analysis of architecture, construction and the uneasy relationship between them in post-War Britain"--"
