ABSTRACT
What follows are some speculative thoughts on the relation between the terms ‘field’
and ‘work’ articulated in response to the fascinating chapters and projects contained
within Architecture and Field/Work. My purpose is to offer some ideas about how the
research encapsulated within this book can be considered with respect to the wider
context of inter-disciplinary spatial practice and to reflect upon how future research in
architectural design and other practice-led arenas might make productive links between
academia and the profession, specifically, as this book suggests to me, by ‘working
(through) the field’.
