"Gary Unger has had a career that can be a model for others hoping for a successful life in architecture and interior design. His new book, Your Architecture Career , is a very useful addition to the very limited bibliography of books on this important subject. It should be on every young architect's and interior designer's personal bookshelf." --Bradford Perkins, FAIA, chairman and CEO of Perkins Eastman Architects, coauthor of Architect's Essentials of Starting, Assessing, and Transitioning a Design Firm "Gary Unger's book, Your Architecture Career , is an insightful look into the past, present, and future of the profession. Gary puts his finger on the flaws and opportunities in the profession and provides a clear, broad view of its scope, complexities, and differences. He skillfully examines the tension in the profession between art, technology, and business. The book is a good splash of realism for young minds beginning in the profession and will give them a jump-start on their career. It will fill how-to-do-it gaps for a seasoned practitioner. It's a fun read for anyone with the faintest interest in the design and construction industry." --Chuck Thomsen, FAIA, former chairman of 3DI, creator of "fast track construction scheduling" concept, and author of Program Management 2.0 and Managing Brainpower "This exceptionally comprehensive, well-written book does more than just describe--lucidly and in great detail--the practice and business of architecture. By sharing with readers his diverse professional experiences, personal knowledge, and extensive management expertise, Gary Unger has created a richly textured narrative about all aspects of an architectural career as well as a highly practical, detailed guide for aspiring architects and architectural firms." --Roger K. Lewis, FAIA, professor emeritus, University of Maryland, and author of Architect? A Candid Guide to the Profession " Your Architecture Career provides important information and helpful tips for those launching a career in architecture, emerging professionals, and experienced architects.

Waldrep, PhD, author of Becoming an Architect: A Guide to Careers in Design "Many times, I have sat at a table opposite Gary Unger as he led a team through an innovative design, beginning with a goal. In Your Architecture Career , Gary leads you through your most important design to your most important goal--your career as an architect." --Joel Rollins, AV technologist and futurist, host of The Week on rAVe Radio "In Your Architecture Career , Gary Unger presents unique insights collected from a successful career as the founder and leader of Stamford-based architecture firm CPG.
