Managing Quality in Architecture

The three books by Charles Nelson AIA LFRAIA on Managing Quality in Architecture are the global definitive works on the subject. As the International Standard for Quality has evolved over the past quarter century, he and a number of the best thinkers on the topic have updated their work to connect the updated Quality Standard with evolving design processes.

Many of the contributors prepared detailed papers that thoroughly covered their often complex topics.
