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 architect that forms the seed of every project.
-Robert O. Little, Former President, Ittner Architects, St. Louis
Overall, I found the book very entertaining. I particularly liked the travels in Ireland, France and Turkey with...wonderful sketches of famous places...[and] some very funny anecdotes.
-David Margolis, Author of The Myth of Dr. Kugelman and The Misadventures of Buddy Jones
I loved the adventure of continuing to work while getting farther and further from the nest. Milan! The Orient Express! Istanbul! Great characters-the South Africans, the Turkish vendor, Elias and Catherine ("Oh darn, I missed it by that much!"), Charlie, Stan, Bulent, Omar, the architecture in Milan and Istanbul, Turkish history and customs were all fascinating.
-C. Michael Lederer, Career Nuclear and Environmental Scientist, University of California, Berkeley
