Critical 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
