ABSTRACT
3.1 Introduction
In order to run a successful architectural practice, an architect or architectural technologist needs to have a range of abilities in addition to design and technical skills. They include an aptitude to organise and manage, and business acumen. This chapter is concerned with that aspect of work and, in particular with the various modes of practice operating under a traditional system, with alternative non-traditional methods, with the function of the various members of the design team, with the need for good communications, and how architects and technologists obtain work and are paid for what they do.
