Description
Written by an experienced practice manager and professional practice lecturer, this addition to the Technologies of Architecture series provides the business aspects of the architectural design process.
Running a design practice demands many skills, which include the ability to manage staff, an understanding of financial decision making and a sound appreciation of the legal and ethical system within which the professions operate. Acquiring the necessary expertise is a vital element of professional education, and a necessary prerequisite for attaining professional status.
A useful and informative text for students, Practice, Management and Responsibility also provides a useful reference for practitioners.
