The best business resource for any Architect

BoA has been my go to staple in navigating how the clash of operating Architectural Services and dealing with business should be able to ensure you get a happy life. As my heading says, if you are in the Architectural industry and do not subscribe to BoA, you are treading dangerous waters.

The intermix of Business with Architecture has always been seen as sort of a taboo subject with most insisting that Architects should focus more on being the best they can and let the business come. However, in the modern world we do this at our own peril, its essential for any architect to understand how to operate at their best level, whilst also obtaining the compensation that their work entails and BoA gladly bridges that gap.

If you havent been listening to BoA make sure you start just after reading this review.
