This is your essential one stop shop for information on starting
and running a practice. Case studies and advice from practitioners,
big and small, run alongside outlines of all the key topics, to
give you an insight into the problems and challenges others have
faced when setting up a design business. Accessible and
informative, this handbook is the ideal first point of reference
when starting a practice.
Architects have many different reasons for setting up in practice;
equally, there are many ways of running your own business. This
handbook helps you consider whether or not you should set up on
your own, examining issues such as financing, office space,
recruitment, IT and workingo ut a business plan. Some architects
want to stay small, while others have ambitions to grow into large
businesses. Some grow big accidentally. And then there are those
who pick and choose their work carefully, and even turn down
undesirable contracts, while others will grab at everything
possible. This book woudl explore these different models and
illustrate how different kinds of practice develop into successful
businesses.
Importantly, the book will stress that these issues are crucial -
you may be the best designer in the world, but unless your business
is well managed you will fail. On the other hand, some successful
architects spend a lot of time looking for new work and attending
to management issues, rarely finding the time for design work. This
book would illustrate how architects have struck a balance between
these two extremes.

Transgression means to 'cross over': borders, disciplines,
practices, professions, and legislation. This book explores how the
transgression of boundaries produces new forms of architecture,
education, built environments, and praxis. Based on material from
the 10th International Conference of the AHRA, this volume presents
contributions from academics, practicing architects and
artists/activists from around the world to provide perspectives on
emerging and transgressive architecture. Divided into four key
themes - boundaries, violations, place and art practice - it
explores global processes, transformative praxis and emerging
trends in architectural production, examining alternative and
radical ways of practicing architecture and reimagining the
profession. The wide range of international contributors are drawn
from subject areas such as architecture, cultural geography, urban
studies, sociology, fine art, film-making, photography, and
environmentalism, and feature examples from regions such as the
United States, Europe and Asia. At the forefront of exploring
inter-disciplinary and trans-disciplinary research and practice,
Transgression will be key reading for students, researchers and
professionals with an interest in the changing nature of
architectural and spatial disciplines.
