Summary

A participative approach to architecture challenges many of the normative values of traditional architecture and in particular issues of authorship, control, aesthetics and the role of the use. This book questions whether a participative approach may lead to new spatial conditions as well as to new types of architectural practices and investigates the way that the user has been included in the design process. The contributors include both practitioners and theorists who provide both background theoretical approaches to the subject as well as concrete outcomes. The book will be useful to both students and practitioners as well as policy makers in the field.
