Reviews

Coetzer persistently challenges us to reconsider what care might be for architects and architecture. Skilfully interweaving detailed building studies with issues of activism, aesthetics, apartheid, climate, ecology, morality, materials and urban design, he journeys adeptly from Darwin, Morris, Hill and Ruskin right through to Latour, Van Eyck and Spuybroek . In doing so he re-writes our understanding of the Art & Crafts movement, translating it to new geographies and theoretical contexts. Informative and thought-provoking. - Professor Ian Borden, The Bartlett, University College London.
