Recensioner i media
''The ten essays in this book explore architecture in its broadest sense, placing special emphasis on the making of buildings (both design and construction) within their physical, social, and institutional contexts. [...] all the chapters are based on meticulous primary research and are analyzed thoughtfully and rigorously. Each makes an original and important contribution to the field.''- D. Howard, Renaissance Quarterly , Volume 77, Issue 1, Spring 2024
