Younger architects are adopting a collaborative approach to architecture rather than the solo brand-name career paths of star architects. How will this change architecture?
"The experiments in collaboration at ground zero reflected a recent movement in the field away from solo practice and in the direction of collective endeavor...These days, young architects are forming collaborative firms right out of architecture school... A tension between individual vision and teamwork has long been palpable in architecture...The process of collaborative architecture raises potential problems among clients and architects alike. Some clients demand a signature design that reflects an individual inspiration, or simply prefer working with a single contact."
