Solid framework of practical knowledge
Practical knowledge which can benefits practical architects and architectural consultants a lot. When I was undergraduate school, I did something like “problem seeking” for studio project, but I did not know this book at that time, I remember that progress was messy and intuitive. I hope I could read this book earlier.

Precious, but BIM-topics are very few
If you aren't really engaged in programming stage of design process this book looks too simple. But these "mind techniques" become very powerful if you play a real game.

Im sure it is good for anyone interested in this field, however, it is very information heavy so I found it a struggle to read

Absolute must for minimally competent architects to define their customers needs!
Again....newer version of an older book, just keeps getting better, and more and more relevant everyday! It's a lost art, architects who can develop architectural programs! An absolute must for the genius student architects, or the interns, and even those licensed to be "minimally competent in the practice of architecture". (No I'm not being mean, that is actually what it says when you pass your architectural state boards). Now, someone turn the next version into a helpful app!

Informativo y elemental como la materia impartida en el Instituto.
Es un material útil, sin embargo no hay versión en español, además de que por el precio me esperaba que por lo menos estuviera en pasta dura, pero no, el material del libro no empata con su precio, el valor se encuentra en su contenido abordado.
