Robert Gutman's classic study Architectural Practice: A Critical View was required reading in my undergraduate days in the early-to-mid 1990s. This single volume and the voluminous research and observation carried out by the sociologist has made Gutman one of the most important writers on the profession of architecture. That his writings were intelligent yet highly readable and easy to follow no doubt helped elevate his appeal, even if it waned in the rise of formalism in the 90s and beyond. This collection of essays by Gutman (he died in 2007, shortly before the book was completed) features "dialogues" by contemporary educators, responses to the essays in five themed chapters. These additions help situate Gutman's contributions outside yet parallel to his great book within contemporary architecture, at a time when considerations beyond form are returning to the fore. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Today, in the face of the challenges confronting their profession, from the economic crisis to an urgent need for longer-lasting, more affordable, and greener construction, architects have been forced to reconsider the relationship between architecture and society, between buildings, their inhabitants, and the environment. No single individual did more to build this discourse than Robert Gutman. Sometimes referred to as the sociological father of architecture, Gutman in his writing and teaching initiated a conversation about the occupants of buildings and the forms, policies, plans, and theories that architects might shape. A sociologist by training, Gutman infiltrated architectures ranks in the mid-1960s. Over the next four decades at Princetons School of Architecture, Gutman wrote about architecture and taught generations of future architects, while still maintaining an outsider status that allowed him to see the architectural profession in an insightful, unique, and always honest way. Architecture From the Outside In is the only book of Gutman's collected essays to span his entire career, with the earliest essay included from 1965, and the most recent from 2005. Before his death in 2007, Gutman wrote a new introduction for the book, its chapters, and each of the included essays. The fourteen essays included here are the rare case of valuable historical documents that remain relevant to architects practicing today. Editors Dana Cuff and John Wriedt added twelve dialogues by some of Gutman's former students, now some of the best-known architects and theorists of today: Bryan Bell, Deborah Berke, Peggy Deamer, Frank Duffy, Keller Easterling, Robert Fishman, Marta Gutman, Wallis Miller, David Mohney, Patricia Morton, Eric Mumford, and Sarah Whiting. These essays give a contemporary response to Gutman's work, and make Architecture From the Outside In an invaluable addition to any contemporary architect's library.
