Do the identities of practices or their business-driven branding and promotional efforts resonate with the critical acclaim many architects seek? Has slick image-led media coverage sold the profession short? How is it possible to convey the less visual and haptic qualities of architecture? Can architects be more creative in their communication efforts, making these joyous on their own terms as Le Corbusier did so memorably? Is there really a need to succumb to the world of corporate marketing processes and managerial business jargon?  \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe issue explores notions of editing and curating work in an age of data deluge, and discusses social media as a genuinely alternative space for communication rather than for just repurposing and regurgitating information relayed. \u003ci\u003eThe Identity of the Architect\u003c\/i\u003e encourages the promotion of practices as an integral extension of the very culture they hope to engender through their work. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributors:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Bayley, Caroline Cole, Adam Nathaniel Furman, Gabor Gallov, Jonathan Glancey, Justine Harvey, Owen Hopkins, Crispin Kelly, Jay Merrick, Robin Monotti, Juhani Pallasmaa, Vicky Richardson, Jenny Sabin, and Austin Williams.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatured architects:\u003c\/b\u003e Ian Ritchie, BIG, MVRDV, IF_DO and Zaha Hadid Architects\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLaura Iloniemi \u003c\/b\u003ehasworked with architects for over twenty years, advising them on how to lead and support their promotional efforts.
