As advancements in transportation and technology continue to close the gap between architect, client, builder and site, critique, and place, this book considers how architects, designers, theorists, and critics design, describe, and critique future and past constructions in absentia. This book engages with remote practice, providing students, academics, and professionals with the understanding and tools they need to rethink the role of the distant and disconnected in making, thinking, and writing architecture--a skill which is becoming increasingly important in contemporary education and practice. Bringing together a collection of 16 essays and creative works from a diverse and respected group of scholars and designers, this book reflects upon the challenges and opportunities which remote practices occasion in architecture.
