"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."
