Applied Psychology of Architecture - Book III. Psychology of communication in architecture

The third book by the founder of applied psychology of architecture, Karel Smejkal, focuses on communication as one of the most essential competences of a contemporary architect. In an environment of increasingly complex projects, the architect becomes a coordinator, manager and mediator between different professions, and it is the quality of communication that determines the success of the whole process. The publication combines years of pedagogical experience with scientific research and offers concrete tools to develop and improve communication. It shows how to prevent conflicts, how to have a dialogue with the client and the team, and how to turn communication into a powerful creative tool. The book is intended for architects, students and all those involved in the creation of architectural work.
