The Architect in Practice

Autor David Chappell, Andrew Willis
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 iun 2010
"The Architect in Practice" wurde zum ersten Mal 1952 veröffentlicht. Ursprünglich von einem Baukostenkalkulator und einem Architekten geschrieben, ist es über neun Ausgaben zu einem führenden Lehrbuch bei der Ausbildung von Architekten auf der ganzen Welt geworden. Auch wenn sich das Format des Buches geändert hat, ist die Grundphilosophie geblieben: Dem Architekturstudenten und dem Berufseinsteiger einen leicht zu benutzenden Führer in das Berufsleben an die Hand zu geben, mit Erläuterungen zu den Pflichten eines Architekten gegenüber Bauherren und ausführenden Firmen, sowie zu Kernpunkten in der Ausführung eines Bauvertrages, und zu wesentlichen Aspekten in Büroführung, Finanzierung und Prozeduren in einem Planungsbüro. Die zehnte Ausgabe führt diese Tradition weiter. Die Autoren, immer noch ein Architekt und ein Kalkulator, haben den Text vollständig aktualisiert. Überarbeitet wurden insbesondere: * Abschnitte zu Planungs- und Bauordnungen * Details zu Änderungen in der Ausbildung von Architekten in Großbritannien * Erläuterungen zum neuen ARB Architects Code: Standards of Professional Conduct and Practice, der seit Januar 2010 gilt * Kommentare zum RIBA Standard Form for the Appointment of an Architect 1999 (SFA/99) wurden aktualisiert * Der neuste RIBA Standard Agreement 2010 (S-10-A) wird ebenfalls erläutert * Alle Verweise to JCT-Verträgen sind auf den neuesten Stand gebracht wurden und beziehen sich auf die Musterverträge von 2005 * Enthält jetzt auch Hinweise zu Ausbildung, Zulassung und Weiterbildungsanforderungen des Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland. Die zehnte Ausgabe von "The Architect in Practice" wird weiterhin Anleitung und Ratgeber sein für alle Studenten und praktizierenden Architekten sowohl während des Studiums als auch im Berufleben.

  • Discussion of the new ARB Architects Code: Standards of Professional Conduct and Practice which came into force in January 2010
  • The commentary on the RIBA Standard Form for the Appointment of an Architect 1999 (SFA/99) has been updated
  • The latest RIBA Standard Agreement 2010 (S–10–A) is now discussed
  • All references to JCT contracts have been updated to refer to the latest revisions of the 2005 suite of contracts
  • Now also includes reference to education, registration and CPD requirements of the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland
The tenth edition of The Architect in Practice will continue to provide the guidance and advice all students and practising architects need in the course of their studies and in their profession.

Recenzii

"This update of a leading textbook/reference in the field first published in 1952 continues the tradition of an architect and quantity surveyor jointly addressing the architect′s profession mainly from the angle of the private practitioner. Chappell and Willis cover the basics of the profession in the UK, running a project from the site appraisal stage to post–construction completion, sources of trade information, finding employment, and marketing practices. The text includes the latest UK building regulations, standards of professional conduct and practice, relevant laws, and forms of contracts; project management flowcharts; and a table of legal cases. Despite the British accent, the book is applicable to the profession globally." (Book News Inc, November 2010)
