[1991] Cuff uses participant observation, interviews, and semantic ethnography to examine architectural practice as it occurs in the everyday world of work. According to her study, it transpires both inside and outside the office and involves numerous individuals who perform the various tasks required to build buildings. Plus, it is more than that.
This book examines how buildings may be collectively conceived; it considers architecture as social construction.
