2 comments about Curing the Fountainheadache: How Architects & Their Clients Communicate.

1. The book is easy reading and entertaining. Candid inside stories from some prominent architects about their client relationships on well-know projects are worth the read. I found the stories to be more entertainment than instructional. The vignettes do tend to promote of an understanding of the parties involved in the architect-client relationship, rather than provide an instructional "how-to."



2. I'm not sure for whom this book is written. Clients will gain little insight on how to select or work with an architect from this book, and architects will gain little insight on how to deal with a client. The examples of architecture from the author's own past are dated. In the end, I found the stories from the client perspective far more insightful than those from the architect's side. The clients were able to more clearly voice their frustration and as a result, their less than perfect projects. I don't think this book cured the Fountainheadache, but merely exposes it with no real solutions.

3 comments about Plans, Special Provisions and Contract Plan Reviews - A Guide for Plan Preparation, Writing Special Provisions and Performing Plan Reviews.

1. This book is well written and for those that are looking for a comprehensive description of each component for a set of roadway design plans and specifications. Each section provides a good description of what should be included and also what needs to be considered to avoid errors-and-omissions. Sample plan sheets are also very visually helpful. This is a recommended buy for design engineers.



2. This book is great. As another reviewer said this is perfect for someone right out of college. It is written in an easy to read format. It gives a good general overview and background for each type of plan sheet. Really a must have on your bookshelf. This covers a set of plans from birth to construction and even gives advice to prevent costly construction changes.



3. This is a perfect book for new hires and out of college engineers. It explains the relationship between contract documents and how to use them. It is a perfect tool for training new hires in highway engineering. It is about time someone put their experience to use. Must have few copies in your company file room.
