In this book, first published in 1999, Hershberger presents architectural programming and predesign management in a clear, detailed manner. With numerous examples and illustrations from both his and his colleagues’ experience, he shows the reader step by step how to use the techniques of architectural programming, set values, resolve issues, apply tested methods, and leverage skills when working with clients. This title will be of interest to students of architecture.
Environmental Aesthetics
How do people react to the visual character of their surroundings? What can planners do to improve the aesthetic quality of these surroundings? Too often in environmental design, visual quality--aesthetics--is misunderstood as only a minor concern, dependent on volatile taste and thus undefinable. Yet a substantial body of research indicates the importance of visual quality in the environment to the public and has uncovered systematic patterns of human response to visual attributes of the built environment. Efforts to understand environmental aesthetics have been undertaken by investigators from such diverse fields as landscape architecture, environmental psychology, geography, philosophy, architecture, and city planning. As a result the relevant information is scattered and not readily available to professionals and policy makers. The book brings together classic and new contributions by distinguished workers in different disciplines. It explores theory and data on preferences in the visual environment, and also addresses the practical application of aesthetic criteria in design, planning and public policy. Promising directions for future research are identified.

Cold Case: Murder of Bill Comeans
If you happened to pass at dusk through New Rome, Ohio, maybe on your way to check out the famed hippy site of Woodstock about 34 miles away, you might have picked up a speeding ticket, if you were unlucky enough to be exceeding the 35mph speed limit. And you probably were, because the little one-horse town of .02 square miles would have been quiet at that time and maybe you relaxed your guard a little. But with 14 policemen all waiting there just to catch you as you sped down the main drag of Broad Street with its neat array of white champher board buildings glowing under the street lamps, you'd have been a goner. But New Rome was not only notorious for speeding tickets. It had its very own mafia, the local police and council officials held the town to ransom. When one 14 year old boy was found strangled by the side of the road, his winter scarf deeply embedded in his neck, they declared it suicide. This despite the fact two men had tried to choke him in two separate incidents just 3 months before.

The Architect's Handbook of Professional Practice
Architects must be proficient in a variety of business practices to contribute to, manage, or launch a successful firm. They are responsible for the same kind of legal, financial, marketing, management, and administrative activities as any other professional. Within these broad categories, however, there are many details, including professional standards and documents, that are unique to the profession of architecture.
