“Amanda Lawrence’s new book is most definitely original--not in the architecture it studies, but in its approach to these designs. Taking on what is generally regarded as the fraught subject of influence in architecture, Lawrence helps us see mostly familiar projects in an entirely new way, framing its impact as a two-way street: as architects borrow from the past, they also transform our understanding of that past. She lays out this argument deftly and with admirable step-by-step clarity in the introduction and then delivers her supporting evidence in the chapters that follow, each of them exploring and defining a distinct tactic in architecture’s use of its history.” - Gabrielle Esperdy, New Jersey Institute of Technology, author of American Autopia: An Intellectual History of the American Roadside at Midcentury
