Acknowledgments

This book could never have been realized without the distinctive voices of the Superusers themselves featured herein. I wholeheartedly thank Ian Keough for his forward-thinking Foreword; Shane Burger, Matthew Krissel, Stephen Van Dyck, Scott Crawford, Jordan Billingsley, Ana Garcia Puyol, Cory Brugger, Ryan Cameron, Hilda Espinal, Brian Ringley, Dan Anthony, Hiram Rodriguez, Fernando Araujo – Superusers all – for their selfless contributions and sharing of insights, and for serving themselves – through their words and actions – as exemplars of the design technology leadership described in these pages. This book wouldn’t exist without them. For my Routledge (and Taylor & Francis) publishing team: a hearty thanks to Fran Ford, Publisher, Architecture, and to Jennifer Schmidt, Senior Editor, Architecture who immediately recognized the promise in the book’s premise and championed the proposal to fruition; to Trudy Varcianna, Senior Editorial Assistant, Architecture for her always attentive assistance and responsiveness throughout; to David Moore, Editorial Assistant Built Environment, Architecture. Lastly, for his assistance in coming up with and completing the diagrams that grace this book, Matthew Ross, appropriately enough – at the time of this writing – an architectural studies major with a computer science minor. He has big goals for his future.
