Product Description
For this book, sociologist Judith Blau surveyed 152 Manhattan architectural firms over a five-year period, interviewing more than 400 architects. Architects and Firms, the result of her investigation, vividly depicts the contradictions inherent in architectural practice and challenges many assumptions about the design professional.

Judith Blau is Associate Professor of Sociology at SUNY Albany and Research Scholar at the Center for the Social Sciences at Columbia University.
