Designe Managment For Architects – STEPHEN EMMITT
English | 318 pages | True PDF | 1.94 Mb

This unique guide helps architects improve their management skills by addressing the relationship between the management of the design project and the design office. The author demonstrates how a professionally managed project, conceived and delivered within a professionally managed office ensures that client values are translated into construction without loss of creativity.

Design Management for Architects divides into two parts. Part 1: Managing Creative Projects covers the context and infrastructure of projects; looks at client values; describes developing, detailing and realising the design; and shows how to learn from projects. Part 2: Managing Creative Organisations describes the business of architecture; explains how to manage creative people and the design studio – covering communication and knowledge-sharing, information management, financial management and attracting/retaining clients.

This second edition has been extensively rewritten in response to student feedback and to the rapid evolution of design management in architecture. New features include:

the ‘Why Management?’ question addressed in a design context
Vignettes to demonstrate the value of design management
practical advice is incorporated into each chapter under ‘Project to Office Interface’
