### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book
*by R***Y on October 26, 2012*

As an architect outside of the US, this book gives me a clear picture of how an architectural practice is in the US. I like how ideas and basic managerial aspects of an architectural firm is shown here. Also, this book is clearly aimed to us in this industry - the packaging and page layouts of this book are very well designed. Lastly, I think the interviews with some of the popular architects add great insight. I do expected more information but at the price of this book, it'll suffice! I guess I just wanted to learn more.
