CONSTRUED AS THE SOCIOLOGY OF THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT The sociology of Architecture deals with the symbolic interaction between the social actions of the organization of space, for example, Cities , Park s, House s, Bridge s, Monument s, or other units of Construction (like towers and doors), including interior space, and thus, also, the sociology of the architectural profession, of the building industry, and of living. In Germany Gerhard Grohs, Harald Bodenschatz, and Bernhard Schäfers are cited as examples of those who have done work in this field. Christine Hannemann, with her work "Die Platte," supplied a well-received contribution to industrialized housebuilding in the former East Germany . Also, the architecture critic and theologian Dieter Hoffmann-Axthelm, of Berlin , created an oblique approach to the discipline with the equally provocative, astute, and exaggeratedly Utopia n work, "Die dritte Stadt." Ron Smith and Valerie Bugni from the University of Las Vegas have created a resource, , that addresses many aspects of this specialty. CONSTRUED AS THE SOCIOLOGY OF THE ARCHITECT The literature is scant in this area, and associated with the American researchers Robert Gutman, Herbert Gans, Dana Cuff, Sherry Ahrentzen, and Linda Groat; most of whose work was conducted from 1980 to 2000. Their most active successor is the Australian researcher Garry Stevens . REFERENCES
