Reviews
What sets The Berlage Affair apart from other architectural literature is its very subject matter. Rarely do we learn about innovative or alternative educational models that have produced and imparted applicable, real world knowledge in the field of architecture. This knowledge was produced in an experimental environment as a result of exchange between leading and emerging Dutch, North American, Japanese, and European architects and their students from around the globe. In the process of this exchange, the Berlage created a platform for the construction and consumption of an array of contemporary architectural pursuits. And in the pages of The Berlage Affair, Mimica records those efforts. Critique: Unique, informative, exceptionally well written, organized and presented, The Berlage Affair is an extraordinary and unreservedly recommended addition to professional, college, and university library Architectural History collections in general, and The Berlage Institute supplemental studies reading lists in particular. --Midwest Book Review
