Preface-Summary: PPaP Since Kala's experience has produced a full range of skills in architecture, interior design, the construction execution and site supervision, her methodology-management style has achieved compelling junior architects to reach their full potential and to strive for a high degree of consensus through project phases. Her enthusiasm, collaborative manner, and helpful training information could embolden some junior architects to progress and achieve their advantages to improve their professional practice. As a result, it is possible to gain an advantage of improving the national professional practice, envision or discuss with the colleagues during their work process and to gain an advantage of advocating successful award-winning projects, achieving proper fee status, and creating exposure towards obtaining further business projects to enhance architects' professional practice. Kala believes that the process of establishing and creating the building-from concept through completion must remain faithful to the design concept, adhere to planned construction technology, and be supported by the surrounding neighborhood community in their cities. This book presents the particular inceptions during all phases listed below to garner the success of Practicable Professional Architecture Practice (PPaP) for the qualified professional and practicing architects to lead toward their fruitful and realistic practice.
