Juan Miro and Miguel Rivera, along with other writers, tell about their ideas and design journeys in page after page that foreground gorgeous photography and helpful floor plans...I could spend hours paging through this ravishing book. * Austin American Statesman * A thoughtfully conceived volume, 'Building a New Arcadia' offers a terrific overview of Miro Rivera's oeuvre that also, by highlighting examples, widens an understanding of urbanism in Texas, and elsewhere. * Sightlines * What sets this monograph apart from others is the documentation, especially the drawings...These drawings, which must have been specially made for the book, highlight particular assemblies worthy of the reader's attention and, in the case of exploded axons, peel away the facades and other layers to reveal the spaces within. These twenty buildings spanning twenty years make me eager to see what the next twenty years hold for Miro Rivers Architects. * A Daily Dose of Architecture *
