“Architecture has become an adaptable enterprise for a world that
requires nimbleness, pragmatism, and no small amount of ingenuity. From
one architect to another, I think you will appreciate the strength of
the foundation on which this 15th edition rests. I think you will also
find it to be an indispensable tool in a time of great change and even
greater opportunity for architects.”
-Robert A. Ivy, FAIA, EVP/Chief Executive Officer, The American
Institute of Architects
