520 _a"An architectural methodology based around Lean principles, this book challenges architects to examine how they practice by better understanding their goals and by viewing and producing their work differently. Lean Architecture: Excellence in Project Delivery is a lean implementation guide for design firm leadership, project managers, and architecture professionals. This guide to the building blocks of Lean for design firms outlines important metrics and time-tested implementation strategies for firms of all sizes, presents relatable examples highlighting successful Lean application and describes how to avoid common obstacles in introducing and integrating Lean practice across a design firm"--

He coined the term and introduced the concept of Lean Architecture - the “ongoing process of rethinking and improving architectural methodology” by the application of Lean principles to the practice. Michael co-authored the Construction Documents chapter for the AIA’s 15th Edition of The Architect’s Handbook for Professional Practice and contributed articles to the AIA Best Practices, Chapter 13, and the AIA Practice Management Digest. He has spoken at over 50 industry venues since 2004 on Lean Architecture and advanced project delivery processes, including 6 AIA National Conventions. Michael currently serves as Chair for the BIMForum’s 2021 Lean taskforce. GREGORY T. BUCHANAN, AIA, NCARB, CSI, LEED AP BD+C has spent his nearly thirty-year career endeavoring to advance the practice of architectural delivery through experience and leadership at top-ranked design firms. With advanced degrees in both Architecture and Civil Engineering, his pragmatic approach to problem solving enables him to develop and implement successful strategies and coach excellence in all facets of project delivery. Sharing his passion for process improvement, technology, and project delivery to a broader audience, Greg has presented his methodologies for a Lean Architecture at over a dozen regional and national industry events since 2013. Greg currently serves as Vice Chair for the BIMForum’s 2021 Lean taskforce.
