Description
Aimed at a workforce whose life and career expectations have changed drastically in recent years, this book helps readers make informed choices about their careers – enabling students, educators and professionals to prioritise well-being and offer their design and practice voice to enhance a built environment for all.
"Igea Troiani’s ‘Work-Life Balance in Architecture: Playing the Game’ combines a chastening rehearsal of what is already known —but all too often covered up—about the education and practices of architects, with a wide-ranging exploration of tactics that could change our own practices or those affected by them. Both political and practical, this book makes the tacit ‘rules’ of this game explicit, allowing students, educators and practitioners to play better or differently, and to challenge the structural, institutional frameworks behind these rules."
Stephen Walker, Professor of Architectural Humanities, University of Manchester.
