At a time when the technologies and techniques of producing the built environment are undergoing significant change; this book makes central architecture’s relationship to industry. Contributors turn to historical and theoretical questions; as well as to key contemporary developments; taking a humanities approach to the Industries of Architecture that will be of interest to practitioners and industry professionals; as much as to academic researchers; teachers and students. How has modern architecture responded to mass production? How do we understand the necessarily social nature of production in the architectural office and on the building site? And how is architecture entwined within wider fields of production and reproduction—finance capital; the spaces of regulation; and management techniques? What are the particular effects of techniques and technologies (and above all their inter-relations) on those who labour in architecture; the buildings they produce; and the discursive frameworks we mobilise to understand them?

University of Chicago states. "If textual fiction was the medium of emotions. emotional management and therapy in the 19th Century. audiovisual and digital media have taken on this role in the late 20th and 21st Centuries. This volume opens up venues for audacious forays into a new world ndash; a new world of transdisciplinary European scholarship as much as of the yet to be charted emotional regimes of our time and their genealogies. The collected essays make abundantly clear the wrenching dislocations ndash; of a time in-between emotional orders. in-between modes of mediation. and in-between therapeutic regimes -- that have come to characterize the contemporary world."
