Reviews
Informed and informative, instructive and insightful, exceptionally well organized and presented, Beyond Patronage: Reconsidering Models of Practice will prove to be a signal and important contribution to professional and academic library Architecture reference collections and supplemental studies lists. --Julie Summers, Midwest Book Review
The book explores how architects are already finding new niches and newly articulating roles other than service provider to a purchasing client. Among the activities discussed are innovation of new project models and business structures; researching hidden or obfuscated conditions for commentary and engagement; and reconsideration of who constitutes a client and what they must have to to offer. Work with nonprofits, public organizations, and with grant funding are discussed in terms of the impact they have both on society and on the architect's own artistic expression and intellectual contributions, and the intersection between architecture and artistic commentary is highlighted with attention to the impact of gender and other marginalized statuses. --ProtoView

Coming out of the Buffalo School of Architecture and Planning's 2012 Martell Symposium, the book has three sections: Architect as Initiator, Architect as Detective, and Architect as Advocate. Each section is structured with an introductory essay followed by contributions from architects and then interviews with them. These include Hansy Better Barraza's Searching for an Authentic Production, Juliette Spertus's Build It In: Making the Case for Garbage Collection in Urban Design, Lola Sheppard's Navigating Territories of Engagement: Investigations in a Remote Territory. The symposium and book were a collaboration with the Gender Institute and the School of Architecture and Planning with the goal of redefining contemporary architectural patronage and to highlight the important role that women have had and continue to play in expanding the profession's boundaries. --John Hill, A Daily Dose of Architecture
