Reviews
'The book is an excellent and timely contribution to an important critical debate in museum studies and architecture: how to conceptualise and analyse the architectural organization of display spaces in museums and the movement of visitors within them. Tzortzi's exploration of the syntactic analysis of museum space stands as the most accessible and reader-friendly account of this important method. This book is required reading for anyone interested in understanding and analyzing museum space.' Christopher Whitehead, Newcastle University, UK 'Kali Tzortzi's book develops a strong theoretical approach to contemporary museums and offers a deep insight into the questions related to architecture, exhibition settings, and museological strategies, highlighting the importance of the spatial organization of museums in shaping visitors' experiences. This coherent and well-balanced investigation, supported by the analysis of several case studies, will be of great interest to designers, museum professionals and scholars.' Luca Basso Peressut, Polytechnic University of Milan, Italy
