ON ARCHITECTURE AND WORK

Why is architecture so remote from labor struggles  with poorly negotiated labor contracts and
barely any self-management models? What possibilities emerge when we acknowledge the glaring
class divide between the architectural firm and the construction site? What insights do the
stories of workers provide about the construction industry? How do different design practices
emerge if designers and construction workers unite?  On Architecture and Work is a collection
of essays on the relationship between construction  architecture  work  and labor. From
complaints over grueling working conditions on construction sites to demands for better
benefits in design offices  asking candidly "who can afford to be radical?"  this is the third
publication in the series The Political Economy of Space   after On Architecture and the
Greenfield (2024) an d On Architecture and Greenwashing (2024). Edited by Charlotte
Malterre-Barthes  head of the RIOT laboratory at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology-EPFL
in Lausanne  this volume updates the discussion on architecture and work by giving answers from
construction workers  scholars  and design practitioners.
