The Architect’s Handbook of Professional Practice

I purchased the Architect’s Handbook of Professional Practice to help study for the ARE’s. I wish I had purchased this sooner as the information covered is clear, concise and very reflective of the information candidates are expected to know for the exams. It is a great resource for any architect considering starting their own practice or just wanting to a broader understanding of the industry.

I believe every Architect’s practice should keep up with those, as a primer on the business. It is somewhat heavy on some new trends, which will likely be more useful for larger organizations.

This book is a must-have in an architectural office. This new edition replaces a much older and well-used version.

A must have for any architect, designer, or intern studying for the ARE. This is one of the main recommended study guides for the ARE and it is full of information. The price is a little steep, but it’s a resource that can be used regularly, even when you’ve passed the ARE.

Reading this book is vital to passing the Architect Registration Exams. It’s a good reference to have on the shelf after registration too. But sometimes the authors get long-winded and parts of the book can safely be skipped.
