Overview

/Peopleexplores how individuals can work across multiple disciplines instead of following a single, specialized path. Based on over 15 years of research at the Architectural Association's Interprofessional Studio, the book introduces the idea of ""/People"" as a new way to describe creatives who move between architecture, design, performance, and other fields. It presents case studies, methods, and practical examples that show how combining skills from different areas can lead to new ideas and professional opportunities. Instead of focusing on one discipline,/Peoplelooks at how knowledge from different fields can be combined to create new ways of working. It examines how objects take on meaning through use, how people collaborate effectively, and how creative work connects to broader social and professional contexts. The book provides insights for those interested in expanding their practice, including professionals, educators, and students, offering tools to navigate a world where creativity is increasingly shaped by different influences and perspectives. With Contributions (Co-Authors) of David Greene, Miraj Ahmed, Robin Hunt, Portia Kamons, Albena Yaneva, Graham Harman, Amr Assaad
