This comprehensive course will enhance the student's exposure to the architect's professional role based on case studies of real-world experiences. It expands upon previously introduced architectural business practices such as marketing, responding to client requests for services, assembling project teams, working with the appropriate consultants, and delivering a project, all within financial constraints of both project and business management. The changing role of the architect in nontraditional practice types and project delivery methods will also be explored. Throughout the course, professional written, verbal and graphic communication skills will be emphasized in relation to their importance in the business setting.
