Remote Practices: Architecture at a Distance

In light of the increasing globalisation of architecture and the effect which the recent pandemic has had upon the discipline, remote practice has become a timely and relevant topic of architectural discourse.

As advancements in transportation and technology continue to close the gap between architect, client, builder and site, critique and place, this book considers how architects, designers, theorists, and critics design, describe and critique future and past constructions in absentia. This book engages with remote practice, providing students, academics and professionals with the understanding and tools they need to rethink the role of the distant and disconnected in making, thinking and writing architecture — a skill which is becoming increasingly important in contemporary education and practice.

This book brings together leading architectural thinkers, including Joan Ockman, Paul Emmons, Naomi Stead, Philip Ursprung and Jane Rendell to discuss how architecture is created and discussed at a distance.
