Published by the aia since 1920, The Architect's Handbook of Professional Practice is considered the definitive source for practice information. However, the 1,000-page tome has generally not been seen as incredibly timely, nor relevant, for both small and large firms alike. All that changes with the Handbook's 15th edition, published this year. Two-thirds of the 15th edition's content is completely new, reflecting the current state of practice and looking ahead to emerging trends. Over 90 percent of the 15th edition's authors are new contributors-all of them experts in their topic areas. Many of these authors are seasoned practitioners, sharing insight sourced from personal practice experience. Overall, they represent a diverse group that is reflective of the profession as a whole.
