Property Development and Progressive Architecture: The New Alliance by David B. Sokol
Property Development and Progressive Architecture: The New Alliance by David B. Sokol.
A new alliance is being forged between designers and commercial property developers, who are championing progressive design, in projects as diverse as apartment blocks, houses, hotels and offices. While some architects are taking a proactive role in development, others are cutting out a new position for themselves as designer-developers.
This is all happening at a time that property developers are starting to recognize the added value that an architect can bring to a scheme. By taking a truly international look at the projects architects and developers are achieving together, this issue explores the economic and demographic opportunities that are now driving architect-developer alliance in cities as diverse as Amsterdam, Hong Kong, London, Malmo, Melbourne, Montreal, New York, Phoenix and Tokyo.
As architects and property developers break boundaries together, they are also beginning to transcend an established pattern of notorious and longstanding ill will. Could this herald a new age of economic savviness in architecture and an appreciation of design input in development? Property development has to be market driven and certainly not product driven.
