GAM 19: Professionalism

GAM.19 interrogates the complex constellations and various semantic meanings of professionalism in architecture. How have the professional foundations of the discipline shifted over time due to economic, ecological or societal changes? GAM takes on the task of re-evaluating architecture’s occupational profile, providing a platform for a diverse range of players to reflect on the concept of professionalism in the context of their architectural practice and to identify its contemporary manifestations. Whoever builds is inevitably confronted with a jungle of different positions, all with one thing in common: they are all the views of professionals. As a discipline, architecture occupies a special role: it is a profession itself, and one which relates to numerous other professions and integrates them into its practice of planning and building. Contributors include: Alexander Bartscher, Ivica Brnić, Peggy Deamer, Günther Domenig, Andri Gerber, Julian Müller, Victoria Steiner and others.
