Reviews

"The Architect's Legal Handbook serves to make us aware of those areas in which the law overlaps with architectural practice and all the more easily avoid those pitfalls that trap the unwary. As a combination legal primer and security blanket this is an essential purchase for both Part III candidates and architects alike."

Peter Robinson Arias, Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland journal (RIAS)
