Professionalism

Die Architektur nimmt als Disziplin eine Sonderrolle ein, da sie sich auf andere Professionen bezieht und diese in ihre Praxis des Planens und Bauens integriert. GAM 19 fragt nach den komplexen Konstellationen und unterschiedlichen Bedeutungsebenen von Professionalität in der Architektur, wie sich die professionellen Fundamente der Disziplin aufgrund ökonomischer, ökologischer oder gesellschaftlicher Veränderungen im Wandel der Zeit verschoben haben und wie Architekt*innen heute damit umgehen.

The construction industry is faced with a multitude of positions, primarily centered around the voices of professionals. In this context, architecture assumes a unique role as a discipline, as it has always been a profession that interacts with other professions and incorporates their expertise into the planning and building process.

GAM 19 delves into the intricate complexities and diverse significance of professionalism in architecture. It explores how the professional foundations of the discipline have evolved over time, responding to economic, ecological, and societal changes. The question arises: How do architects navigate these shifts today, and what lessons can be drawn from the instances where professional practices have merged with unprofessional approaches to yield previously unseen outcomes?

GAM 19 takes a comprehensive approach to analyzing and reevaluating the professional identity of architects. It invites a range of actors, including Grayson Bailey, Alexander Bartscher, Klara Bindl, Ivica Brnić, Peggy Deamer, Anne Femmer, Andri Gerber, Andreas Lechner, Alex Lehnerer, Yeoryia Manolopoulou, Jan Meier, Julian Müller, Victoria Steiner, Florian Summa, Juergen Teller, and Lena Unger, to contribute their perspectives and insights into the concept of professionalism within the context of their architectural practices.

Through their contributions, GAM 19 aims to shed light on the evolving nature of the profession, highlight the diverse perspectives of architects, and explore the challenges and opportunities that arise in the contemporary architectural landscape.
