If you’ve picked up this book, it is safe to assume you have a desire to know more about architecture. It might be a passing interest, but it is most likely because you are considering a construction project of some kind. In this case, simply knowing that architects are the people who design buildings isn’t enough. What does ‘design’ mean in the context of construc- tion? Who draws which plans? How do you move from design into construction? What should you ask potential General Contractors? What does a structural engineer do? Who do you congratulate when things go well? Who do you look to if things go badly? All these questions, and many more, are covered in ‘Speaking Architecture’.
Speaking Architecture is a resource of broad appeal and enduring value for everyone involved in bringing a building concept from imagination to reality...”
