Reviews

'Philip Gumuchdjian’s is an architecture of equipoise. Nothing is forced. His buildings – warm, natural, subtle, humane – seem just as they ought to be. His writing is equally natural – engaging, wholly unpretentious, informative and wise, too.' - Jonathan Glancey 'The case studies in this book are a demonstration of the skill of the architect. Philip is constantly looking for the hidden order in things and situations.' - Niall McLaughlin
