Sociologist Jean-Louis Violeau, a specialist in the field of architecture, returns with a book that questions the authorship of architects. Drawing on contemporary examples, the author poses a thousand questions: "Can we talk about authorship in architecture? What does it mean to build? Who is the author? Can we talk about an author in a collective work? Can a building be a work of art? ..."

These are legitimate questions, and it's all the more important to address them in the new context of the arrival of Artificial Intelligence.
