Introduction
As an electrical engineer, I have to work with architectures for many projects. They always the lead party and my team always the last group to join the project in term of time scale. They always the first group who gets to know the clients. Also, they always change plans and details which, of course, lead my team has to change our plans and drawings follow their plans.
I always fascinated about what kind of their rule, what they get ideas from and how they get it. This is the reason why I study the BA. Architecture (Hons) at the CASS. I learn many things prior, to be architecture. This knowledge is also helping me as an electrical engineer to understand the project clearly.
I hope this book will help you too.
