Extract

Contemporary criticism in architecture frequently ignores the procurement process that a project has undergone and its impact on the design of a building. Critics tend to concentrate on the finished product, the building, paying little or no attention to how the architect secured the job, who the client was, how they were represented, the client / architect relationship and how these had an impact on both design and design process, beyond functional requirements.
