The chapter this week is 'The Separation of Thinking from Doing' in this book, apparently something that has even found it's way on to the desk of the Minister for Work and Pensions. Whilst a review in the Guardian was wary about some of it's small time, small 'r', republican values, this text brings us to a consideration of the world of 'work' far more tangible than the world of information exchange as predicted by Paul Mason or the consumerist Spectacle offered by Patrik Schumacher.
It is very clear that for many architectural students notions of the value of 'materiality' surpass their knowledge of material. Does this matter?
