Mike Mense (MUPUD '16) authored: Monument to Instrument, Straight Talk About the Future of Architects, published by Oro Editions⁠
⁠
This book proposes that architects must become more important players in North America if we are to solve our problems of climate and immigration. They cannot increase their importance if they are solely understood as deliverers of delight. Architects are exceptionally insecure because so many of them prepare to craft monuments and discover that they are destined to design instruments. They must know what they know and be strong in that knowledge. ⁠
⁠
The book suggests that architects recast themselves as the experts at the relationships between humans and constructed environments. 164 pages of words and illustrations describing the problem and suggesting how to make this change, both in the profession and in the education of future architects. Delight remains of utmost importance but the profession should also celebrate and inculcate skills supportive of excellent commodity and firmness. In its straightforward telling, the book can also serve as an introduction to the profession or to persons considering engaging an architect.⁠
