The second edition of Architect + Action = Result presents an updated and expanded collection of guidelines and advice for identifying themes and shaping narratives of professional achievements, career milestones, and building and design projects. Inspired by nearly two decades of supporting nominees for Fellowship in the American Institute of Architects (AIA), Edmunds's method for developing narratives provides valuable tools for all architects seeking to articulate the stories of their work, regardless of their interest in Fellowship. More than a guidebook, the volume invites readers to apply the introspection and preparation required for Fellowship to find, define, and elevate meaning in practice. Her approach-and treatise on writing basics-is transformative for all professionals
and designers.
