Architectural Management: International Research and Practice

The book looks back at over a decade of research into architectural management, considers the present challenges and opportunities, and also looks to the future. It provides a review of earlier work and developments as well as setting the theme for new research areas. The book divides into six sections representing topical themes, each section containing two research–based chapters and one practical case study. Case studies will be from six European countries – Belgium, Denmark, Finland, The Netherlands, Norway, and the UK.

Architectural Management represents the state of the art of architectural management research and practice and includes contributions from leading international figures in this field/subject experts.
