OverviewBased on many years of personal observation, Palladio's Children critically examines the role of the architect as a professional descendent of Palladio, and as an heir to his architectural legacy. Seven innovative and carefully crafted essays explore the widening ideological schism between today s architects whose core values, identity and education remain rooted in the Renaissance legacy of creating artful masterpieces, and the practical demands on a profession which acts within an evolving, ubiquitous and autonomous built environment or field . Clearly written yet expressing complex, evolving ideas, this extended argument opens a new forum of debate across design theory, professional practice and academic issues. Moving the subject on from a historical perspective, Habraken shows how architects are increasingly involved in the design of everyday buildings. This must lead to a reassessment of architects identities, values and education, and the contribution of the architect in the shaping of the built environment.
