This article presents information on the book, "Architects and Firms: A Sociological Perspective on Architectural Practice," by Judith R. Blau. This book, reportedly, analyzes structural contradictions and their consequences in professional worlds and art worlds. It is concerned with sociological perspectives of architectural practices, based on observational data. The principal units of observation are 152 Manhattan firms in New York and the architects who work in them. These studies were carried out twice on same firms, once in 1974 and then in 1979 which was the period after the severe economic recession and fiscal crisis of New York. This book, supposedly, overcomes the shortfalls shared by the shelf of recent publications on organizational survival and excellence. It comprises the firm-level data for ninety-two surviving firms as well as the stage-one study of 400 architects for testing hypothesis derived from the theory. Variables considered in the study were size, specialization, structure, corporate clientele, productivity, and the array of social measurements tailored for studying the processes of organizing activities within architectural offices.
