Review

" includes major new information on programming, project management, construction contract administration, risk management, and ethics." ( chicagoarchitecturetoday.com; 1/09)

" includes for the first time in its nearly 100–year history, a section called "The Architect in the Political Process." The handbook describes why architects are uniquely qualified to make important professional contributions in the political area. The recognition that a political dimension exists in architectural practice is an important first step for the AIA, and I applaud them for including it in the handbook." (The Architect′s Newspaper; Dec 2008)

"Note the fresh emphasis on integrated practice and team building. Indispensable." (Archnewsnow.com, December 2008)

"The "Architect′s Handbook of Professional Practice" has been the definitive guide to running an architectural practice for almost a century." (Architectureweek.com, 7/08)
