Reviews

'This volume will be a reference point equally for those who have prior knowledge of the territory and for the first-time student...The essays are supplemented with an extensive bibliography providing an invaluable springboard for future research in this subject area; its comprehensiveness can only lead to the conclusion that the subject is alive and well and forming its own traditions.' The Journal of Architecture

'One of the most thorough and far-reaching compilations on this subject - and perhaps the most accessible.' - Journal of Architectural Education
