After more than 35 years "in the trenches" as an architect; specialist consultant and now quality director for a large North American construction company; Brian Palmquist has written An Architects Guide to Construction in order to share a balanced wealth of knowledge and experience about the construction phase of building projects.Considering both the consultant and contractor perspectives; he uses 70 true tales to illustrate many of those moments in the building construction phase that confound and confuse designers; builders and their clients. He proposes practical solutions in straightforward language and illustrations targeted to students; interns and young practitioners as well as to experienced professionals.Heavily illustrated with more than 200 diagrams; charts and useful forms; the book uses its 70 tales to introduce practical ways to design and build more efficiently; based on just four principles and three simple Internet-based toolsets.An Architects Guide to Construction concludes with an invitation to link to a freely available sample project on the Internet; illustrating Palmquists approach. The reader is provided with detailed instructions and invited to "...borrow what you will; challenge what you disagree with and contribute what you think makes your approach better."
