The course presents a number of historical examples of quality management in architecture and other industries, which is quite shocking, and we really need to focus on the quality of buildings.

Architect is a serious profession. Poor quality of construction adversely affects the construction industry. This course focuses on implementing good quality management methods.

Very informative. I learned a lot

This is a very good course for me. Make my architectural learning content rich, can help me become a better architect.
