Architecture in a changing environment

Abstract

It was a little over eight decades ago that the architectural profession was witnessing the beginnings of a major revolution. That was a revolution in Design. It led us from an Architecture of a Handicraft Age to that of an Industrialised Age in which Design is not just the product of, but generally a very deliberate expression of, technology. It drew architects away from their traditional preoccupations and encouraged them to explore new design concepts with an open mind.
