Between Design and Making: Architecture and craftsmanship, 1630–1760Edited by Andrew Tierney and Melanie Hayes, foreword by Christine Casey, UCL Press, 2024. The seventeenth and eighteenth centuries represent a high point in the collaborative engagement between design and workmanship. Building on the shift towards a collaborative and qualitative analysis of architectural production, Between Design and Making re-evaluates the social and professional fabric that binds design to making, and the asymmetry that has emerged between architecture and craft.
