An Architect's Guide to Fame

This lively text provides a candid look at how architects get work and (for better or worse) become famous. Exploring the reciprocal relationship between publicity and everyday architectural practice, this book examines how leading architects seek publicity and manage to establish themselves and their work ahead of their colleagues. Through the essays of specialist contributors, this book enables the reader to understand the complex relationship between what they see as the built environment and the unwritten stories behind the structures and the firms or individuals who built them.
