    I'm pleased to announce that I've had a book published.  Forming and Centering: Foundational Aspects of Architectural Design, published by Emerald Group, is now available on Amazon and other sources, which can be referenced by googling "Forming and Centering." Available in hard cover and paperback, its 300 pages feature an equal emphasis on narrative and 450 hand-drawn figures and diagrams. The Amazon entry offers a description and an opportunity to check out initial chapters.

    By way of follow-up to my post about having had a book published, It has not occurred to me that this might be regarded as in the nature of advertising and possibly inappropriate to this forum. My motive was solely to inform the membership of my effort and, perhaps, generate some discussion as to its basic themes, in that they concern basic issues of design.
