>Architect? A Candid Guide to the Profession
>revised edition
>Roger K. Lewis
>
>Roger K. Lewis, a practicing architect and educator, takes a hard look at
>the education of the architect as he covers such topics as curriculum
>content, pedagogical theories and methods, program and faculty types, the
>admission process, internship, compensation, computer-aided design, and the
>culture of small and large firms in this revised edition of the vocational
>guide. He tells how an architect works and gets work, and explains all
>aspects of architectural services, from initial client contact to
>construction oversight.
>
>The author describes the benefits of becoming an architect, including the
>opportunity to express oneself creatively, to improve the environment, and
>to achieve notoriety. But he doesn't hesitate to show the other side--the
>lack of steady work and appropriate compensation, the intensity of
>competition, the restrictions imposed by clients, and the high degree of
>anxiety and disillusionment among young architects. Written in a clear,
>accessible style, the book is accompanied by the author's often-humorous
>illustrations and a valuable appendix.
>
>In addition to running his Washington, DC-based practice, Roger K. Lewis is
>Professor at the University of Maryland School of Architecture. He also
>writes and illustrates a column about architecture and urban design,
>"Shaping the City," for the Washington Post.
>
>March 1998
