Description:
The profession of Architects is no longer that of the omnipotent beneficent; in fact it never has been, except in the reflections of our inflated egos. Habraken reminds us of this in this book, and makes a sincere appeal for architects to wake up to the reality that our profession is but a part of. He distinguishes Architecture (as what we all know it as) from the Field, which is an autonomous and ubiquitous built environment with all its life that exists and grows without the need of architects and planners. This Field is what the architectural profession has to reckon and carefully integrate with.
