"Derrida for Architects is to be celebrated for maintaining that most important and productive relationship between Derrida and architecture" – Planning Perspectives "This book and series will then appeal to the architect, student, and academic looking for connections between this great mind and the built environment. That his field dealt mostly in intangibles only makes one realize how powerful an idea can be, how his thinking and philosophy have and continue to influence so many, architects and all." – Sean Ruthen, Spacing Magazine
