Architects expect to design buildings. But persuading clients to carry
those designs into tangible form almost always involves writing as well
as designing. Yet architects, and those who write about architecture,
are often more comfortable with images than words. Presenting their
visions in an articulate, accessible, and convincing written form can be
difficult, and professionally hazardous. In Writing Architecture,
Carter Wiseman provides an invaluable guide for students and
practitioners on how to convey the importance of architecture to those
who commission it, build it, and benefit from it. Drawing on a wide
range of sources and citing examples from such authors as Frank Lloyd
Wright, Ada Louise Huxtable, Vincent Scully, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and
today’s leading designers, Wiseman analyzes basic principles of
compositional structure to illustrate the most effective forms of
architectural writing.

Free of professional and theoretical jargon, Writing Architecture considers the process, methods, and value of architecture writing based
on Wiseman’s 30 years of experience in writing, editing, and teaching
young architects how to write. It integrates historical references with
current practice to help students and practitioners reach their
professional goals.
