Summary

Working in architecture is characterised by participating in many processes: from planning to construction, from dream to reality, from work to play. Throughout the process many things can influence and shape the intended goal. MAK Architects understand 'process' as fluid and open, their body of work cannot be defined as a monograph or a mere representation of process. Compiled in this book, the MAK approach comes across as conventional; and playful in tone with a strong desire to engage with how environments can become meaningful for the user. MAK's body of work is reflective of how architecture is produced within the service economy of a global city. Their occupy a unique position within the design world to take on complex contemporary urban projects. This book is a recording of the evolution of an architectural practice through the progression of many authors and users, and is essential to anyone interested in architectural development. 438 colour & b/w illustrations
