Picking up on Sérgio Ferro’s injunction to draw on what is available to us today in the field of building and his argument that separated design is a key technique of the capitalist building industry, three practitioners and academics reflect on their work to challenge the separation and hierarchy between designers and fabricators in the production of the built environment. What are the structural barriers mitigating against more collaborative ways of working in mainstream architecture and construction? How they have sought to create alternative relationships in their practice?
