Reviews

Architecture 3.0 is a timely re-imagination of the profession and future of the architect. As the demand for built solutions continues to decline and the need for the kind of thinking and training architects posses outside the built environment increases this book offers a comprehensive roadmap to take advantage of this crossroad.

The world is changing and Architect 3.0 offers both a roadmap and a toolbox for architects who are willing to change with it. I'm not an architect but I do build houses, and I look forward to the possibilities that the changing landscape offers to working more closely with architects to design and build houses for poor families that are simple, decent and sustainable-to design and build for solutions. The future isn't bleak for those who embrace change. Cliff Moser offers a thoughtful and optimistic look at what's coming and how all of us who deal in containing space can tackle the new realities and prosper from them.

Having lived and now continuing to strive towards 'disruption' in the architecture profession, I cannot say enough about Cliff Moser's words and how crucial they are to the survival and evolution of architecture and design as we know it. I hope that not only practicing architects but architects-to-be get their hands on this book early enough to allow them to ask the appropriate questions about the field and contemplate the myriad exciting ways an architecture background can solve and challenge the environment around us, and not just the built one.
