Reviews

'... the balance of architectural history with the social and legal developments ... makes this an outstanding book.' Society of Architectural Historians of Great Britain Newsletter 'Lawyers interested in their workplaces will find the book rewarding.' Corner Stone Magazine '... an impressive achievement.' Northern History 'Ordering Law is a fascinating book, made stronger by the fact it takes a little effort to read and to draw the various linkages and threads out of the plethora of material... the principal message that will remain with me from this book is the one that reinforces the often unrecognised, but profound, role of architecture as the medium through which the spaces of life and action are given formal order and meaning. In this, the law court is a powerful example. Accepting that through law, order is imposed on society, this book illustrates that it is through architecture that a spatial order is imposed on the processes and ceremonies of law.' arq 'Ordering Law is a signal accomplishment that should be the leading authority on the subject for many years to come.' Albion 'Ordering Law is a fascinating book, made stronger by the fact it takes a little effort to read and to draw the various linkages and threads out of the plethora of material.' Architectural Research Quarterly
