How to Architect Add to My Reading List
The word 'architect' is a noun, but Doug Patt uses it as a verb. How to Architect offers encouragement to aspiring architects but also mounts a defense of architecture as a profession--by calling out a defiant verb: architect!
Tradition and Invention in Architecture Add to My Reading List
