Rural Studio, Exyzt, Muf, Assemble and many more have led the way by challenging conventional ideas of ‘The Architect' and reclaiming the notion of architecture as something public that should work ultimately towards the collective good. This quiet revolution is born out of a crisis in the profession and a wider vacuum in the political, environmental and economic situation. On the one hand, architecture as a profession has seen its influence diminish rapidly over the last 50 years through privatisation and the dominance of finance, while on the other hand it has also lacked collective courage and readiness to evolve. Without necessarily being aware of each other, studios around the world are now redefining the profession of architecture as something more proactive, self-aware and political. They are broadening their skill sets and becoming deeply involved in their projects, initiating them themselves, financing them and running them. Though much of this work is dealing with local issues at a relatively small scale, it is inherently ambitious with global application.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eContributors include: Shumi Bose, Indy Johar, Alison Killing, Douglas Murphy, and Finn Williams\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFeatured architects: Aterlier d’Architecture Autogérée (AAA), adamo-faiden; Baupiloten, Grupo Toma, Hector, Inteligencias Colectivas\u003cb\u003e, \u003c\/b\u003eraumlaborberlin, studioBASAR, Studio GutGut, Taller Ken, and We Made That.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e About the Guest-Editors 5 \u003cp\u003eIntroduction: The Changing Forms and Values of Architectural Practice 6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConstitutive Crises: Radical Practice and the Definition of the Centre 14\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDiversification of The Role: Financing the Expanded Field: Adding Value Through Innovative Practice 22\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBuilding Digital Stories: Architecture and Cartography Meet Documentary and Journalism 30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTowards an Intermediary Practice: Bucharest Laboratory 38\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Architect as Optimist: Carl Turner 44\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Power of Localism: Architectural Localism as Damage Control in the Face of Globalism and Digitisation 50\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCo-produced Urban Resilience: A Framework for Bottom-Up Regeneration 58\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCollective Intelligences: The Future is Hybrid 66\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSeriously Playful: Designing Beyond the Expected in Guatemala City 72\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eArchitect as Disruptor: Going from Zero to 00: Indy Johar on Shifting the Focus of Practice from Objects to Outcomes 78\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDown by the River: Design for Organising 86\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBricks and Mercury: A Story of Buildings and Ideas 92\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eShifting the Line: Reclaiming Space for Social Interaction 98\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePolicy Strategy and Common Good: Designing Upstream: Rebuilding Agency Through New Forms of Public Practice 104\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCommon Scales: From the Intimate and Human to the Strategic and Influential 116\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eParticipative Architecture: The Way to More Environmental Justice 122\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCounterpoint: Practising in the Margins High Turnover, Low Cost 128\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eContributors 134\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChris Bryant\u003c\/b\u003e worked at Arup Associates and Make Architects, before co-founding the Alma-nac in London in 2010.
