Reviews

Two Spheres connects the reader to prevalent philosophies explored in architectural discourse, incorporates sustainability perspectives and theories, and considers the relationship of formalism to ecology... If one is searching for a book that provides a foundation for the next fifty years of architectural theory, practice priorities, and academic reorientation, this very well may be one. - Keelan P. Kaiser, Judson University, Building and Research Information
