Professional discourses under the pressure of economic values: The case of French architects, landscape designers and industrial designers

Article Abstract:

The two new professions, industrial designers and landscape designers, are compared with the old one, namely architecture. Landscape designers and industrial designers both consider architects as a model for their own organizations and discourses, but the case of architects has shown how dangerous it can be to maintain a traditional discourse without adapting it to new requirements from the professionals' partners in economic life.
