In defence of design
Article Abstract:
Professor Robert Gutman gave a talk in London, England comparing the architectural professions in Britain and the USA and arguing for closer links between pracitsing architects and academics. Gutman believes the construction industry invests too little in research and that architects should take a lead in this area. His comparison of the British and American professions stressed historical similarities and the gradual movement towards greater public awareness. Gutman believes architecture is increasingly open to public debate and that this is an opportunity for the profession.
