Media reviews

“Great architecture is memorable and often visually stunning. It is fitting, then that Discovering Architecture, itself embodies those same characteristics…gorgeous full-color photographs. Making the work more of a delight…the [die-cut window] effect is both extremely clever and highly functional, and it enhances the reader’s experience of paging through these masterpieces. This is indeed a work that can be pulled from the shelf again and again, and each time the reader is sure to marvel at how surpassingly well the built environment can be built.” ~Civil Engineering Magazine
