The authority of architects is crumbling, and their methods are no longer tenable. In a highly critical introspection, architect and writer Reinier de Graaf explores the tough choices ahead and the course of action that must follow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eArchitecture Against Architecture\u003c\/i\u003e demands we rethink both how and why we build.
