In "Mechanics and Meaning in Architecture", Lance LaVine shows that in architecture, as practiced and taught today, the technological aspect of the profession -how weigth is distributed, how heat flow is regulated, and how light is ermitted to enter- has been ceded to engineers and other technical specialists. As a result, he argues, archites have lost sight of one of architecture's most important purposes, that of providing a literal and figurative window onto the world.
