505 0 $aArchitectural competitions are no longer simply professional praxis for architects, organizers and a recurrent exercise for students at schools of architecture -- The competition has also turned into a field of research, and this book is part of an effort constituting the architectural competition as a field for studies with scholarly claims -- The first doctoral dissertations on competitions were presented in the 1990s in Europe -- Another clear manifestation of research interest is the growth and spread of scholarly conferences on architectural competitions -- To be in the position of presenting accounts that are exciting as well as instructive and informative on the subject of architectural competitions is a pleasure -- The contributions to the book show in a convincing way that the architectural competition is an interesting and rewarding object for research -- The competition processes bear rich empirical findings to which one may refer for knowledge about architecture as professional practice, as educational subject and research platform -- The architectural competition illustrates processes of change in society that are technical and organizational as well as social; it shows up constructive dilemmas, the borderline of rationality and the relative, creative insecurity of knowledge production in architectural projects.
