The Thinking Hand is a superb piece of writing. A primer not just for architecture, but for life. (Blueprint, July 2009) ...beautifully illustrated sequence of essays...It is philosophical, emotional and, unusually for architectural theory, as clear as a building made of glass. (The Guardian, August 1st 2009)
