How do concepts of ‘becoming’ affect professional identities and organisational models?
Jonathan Robberts’ keynote presentation explores ‘becoming’ in architecture amidst constraints and consumption. This is based in Jonathan’s PHD research, undertaken as part of the Wellbeing of Architects research project. The research included extended fieldwork embedded within a large Australian architecture practice. In seeking to understand this one practice, the research sought wider insights into the profession as a whole – its aspirations, configuration, and activities.
