  link\n\n\nTitle:\nArchitects and Engineers \n\nAbstract\nThe split betwe
 en architecture and engineering represents one of the most crucial theoret
 ical problems for the built environment. Since the split was officially de
 fined in the 18th century\, the relationship between these two professions
  has been not easy\, to say the least. In order to be assessed in its own 
 right terms\, the division between architecture and engineering must be un
 derstood within the wider division of labor that is at work in the capital
 ist mode of production. My argument is that in order to make architecture 
 (and engineering)\, not just relevant\, but also effective vis-à-vis the 
 challenges of the contemporary condition\, these two forms of knowledge mu
 st be reunited within an overall project that can find in the polytechnic 
 curriculum a fertile ground for mutual influence.    \n\n\n\nAbout the s
 peaker\nPier Vittorio Aureli teaches at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de 
 Lausanne (EPFL) where he directs the laboratory ‘Theory and Project of D
 omestic Space’. He previously taught at the Architectural Association in
