It takes collaboration to realize truly great projects. Caryn Brause's new book is an insightful resource to assist architects in collaborating in innovative fashion to create excellent designs.

The work is a genuine synthesis, and will be a contribution to both practice and academic realms. - Andrew Pressman, FAIA, Architect and author of Designing Relationships Caryn Brause's invaluable Designer's Field Guide to Collaboration puts to rest the Fountainhead myth of the architect as solo genius, replacing him with the collaborative teams who really design today's buildings. Her Field Guide describes the increasingly varied options for collaborating, and it offers sound advice on how to do it better. Brause couples the insights of leading researchers and writers with in-depth interviews and case studies. Her lessons for successful collaboration will help everyone from students to experienced practitioners. - Jay Wickersham, FAIA, Esq., Associate Professor of Architecture in Practice, Harvard Graduate School of Design
