Reviews

'This is a thought-provoking book. Much of the argument is very accessible.' - Building Design

What Rattenbury furthers in this anthology is an awareness that architecture is enriched -- and not impoverished -- by the communicative power of the drawn or captured image and its eventual dissemination.. <br>- Journal of Architectural Education, Vol. 57, Issue 4, May 2004 <br>
