Comprehensive Building Systems: Threat or Promise?
Building Research, v3 n5 p7-41 Sep-Oct 66
Comprehensive building systems are the result of industry's search for markets, clients' desire for shorter hours and lower costs, and the growing complexity of building technology which requires the architect to depend on industry for research and development. Certain questions are raised by this trend. Will industry dominate architecture? Can the architect respond to this challenge? Can a workable relationship between architecture and industry be developed? Problems, techniques, and the impact on the building industry were discussed by leading participants in this new field at the 1966 Building Research Institute Conference on Comprehensive Building Systems.
