"""Another achievement of the book would be the author’s well-balanced awareness towards many of the issues discussed. One example would be an understanding regarding the use of building certifications in achieving more sustainable buildings. The authors agree that such practices can lead to progressive outcomes, though also admit that there is the potential for greenwashing should architects non-critically follow such artificial standards and checklists. Rather, they advocate for an awareness towards design methods themselves, referencing Aalto’s comments that “The victory of formulas was not to be so dangerous, if it were not the kind of lifebuoy, which every architect wants to use to achieve good results.”"" - Review by George Michelin, bookm-ark.fi"
