Design Management cover

This is a design guide for architects, engineers and contractors concerning the principles and application of design management. This book addresses the value that design management and design managers contribute to construction projects. As part of the PocketArchitecture series, Design Management is divided into two parts: Fundamentals and Application. In Part 1, Fundamentals, the chapters address the why, what, how and when questions in a simple and informative style, illustrated with vignettes from design management professionals. In Part 2, case studies from Colombia, Norway and the USA represent unique examples of the application of design management. This book offers a concise overview of design management for postgraduate students and early career design managers.

'Stephen Emmitt has written a clear, concise and straight forward description of design management, brought alive by vignettes from professionals of their experience and application of design management in industry and through international case studies. It is an essential reference book for anyone working in design or with designers… a very enjoyable and accessible read.' - Rachel Cooper OBE, Distinguished Professor: Design Management and Policy, Lancaster University

'Professor Emmitt begins a conversation long overdue. I would recommend this work for more than just students and early design professionals but for the seasoned practitioner as well. The globalization of our industry has afforded numerous positive benefits for all. Riding tandem to these benefits we often find glaring gaps in project delivery systems. Improper management wastes resources and endangers lives when buildings fail to function as intended. This guide covers a wide breadth of design management methods and helps practitioners go on to deliver high quality construction.' - Stephen Forneris, AIA, Principal and Board Director; Perkins Eastman Architects, New York, USA
