Reviews

The essays in this volume provide a thoughtful consideration of a body of knowledge too often lacking in the curricular framework of architecture's accredited professional degree programs. And they remind us that humanist traditions can ascribe meaning to technical knowledge, thereby enriching the collective creative dialogue. - Journal of Architectural Education
