Particularly pertinent in the current economic climate, this book offers the reader new approaches to architectural practice in a changing world. In the spirit of Cedric Price Spatial Agency started with the belief that a building is not necessarily the best solution to a spatial problem. The project attempts to uncover a second history of architecture, one that moves sharply away from the figure of the architect as individual hero, and replaces it with a much more collaborative approach in which agents act with, and on behalf of, others.
