“Managing Design blends practical advice from the author's five decades in architecture and construction with wisdom from more than three dozen luminaries in the design, delivery, ownership and operation of the built environment. The result is an extraordinary guide to integrating practice across disciplines.”
―Bob Fisher, Editor-In-Chief, Design Intelligence
“Managing Design peers into the soul of a contentious industry as it grapples with change―a deep dive into the design and construction process in the words of those doing the work. I enjoyed the engineers and contractors’ pleas to be made parties to design process early on. The questions―as interesting as the answers―are both here in this book.”
―Richard Korman, Deputy Editor, Engineering News Record
“Managing Design hits many of the design and construction industry’s ills head-on with insightful interviews by new and established leaders and real-world tactics on creating better teams, better communications between players, and―most vitally―better project results.”
―Rebecca W. E. Edmunds, AIA, Editor, Author and President, r4 llc
