Critical Review
Exceptionally well written, organized and presented, “Becoming an Architect: My Voyage of Discovery” is a highly recommended addition to personal, community college and university library Contemporary American Biography and American Architectural collections. —James A. Cox, Midwest Book Review
Readers Praise Becoming an Architect
Enjoyable, fun and courageous! Although there are plenty of books about great architects, very few of them show how architects think and conceptualize…Despite the newer Design-Build delivery systems, it’s still the vision of the owner and the and the architect that forms the seed of every project.
—Robert O. Little, Past President, Ittner Architects, St. Louis
