ReviewsRobert Herrmann's book thoroughly and thoughtfully covers topics of significance to all architects, for students to acquire greater depth on a topic, and for practitioners to improve their effectiveness and success. Belongs on every architect's bookshelf!, A crystal-clear guide to the myriad points where the practice of architecture intersects law, this book is an indispensable guide. Robert Herrmann's reasoned advice provides an excellent foundation to make an architecture practice of any scale more professional., Not just every architect but every design professional should own a copy. It is clearly written and, as Robert Buford so accurately says in his foreword, allows us to do what it is we are meant to do - be architects - by making the legal stuff readily intelligible. The table of contents itself is instructive. Law for Architects will become the text for professional practice at schools of architecture and an essential volume in every design practitioner's library., Architects can't be expected to know all the legal information that Bob Herrmann has packed into this very useful book, but they should have it handy whenever the Law approaches their practice--as it will., Architecture deals with form, content, and ideas. It also deals with trusses, lighting, budgets, waterproofing, and expansion joints. To this unlikely multiplicity, you invariably need to add law into the mix. From copyright concerns to insurance to construction disputes, Robert Herrmann's Law for Architects responds with clarity and precision to the questions asked by architects in the course of their work. It is also an indispensable and fascinating read.
