#CHIEF ARCHITECT TUTORIAL BOOKS HOW TO#
It is not a glossy manual, but rather a book of facts and figures which the designer needs to know.Architects know how to make things look stunning, butkitchens must also function well to be loved by their clients.
So here is a pocket book about kitchen design which I hopewill fill in the gaps.
This was particularly sowith kitchens, the design of which is a complex subject andwhich requires considerable detailed information. When writing the Architects Pocket Book (first published in1997), I realised that some subjects really could not be very welldealt with in only one or two pages.
