Future Practice Reviews

That is exactly where the strength of Future Practice is: the book combines a moment of reflection on a wide range of proactive solutions. - Gebiedsontwikkeling

The dialogue format of the texts in Future Practice is pleasant to read and the structure also serves the hurried reader - among the 17 dialogues it's easy for readers to pick those that interest them the most. - Finnish Architectural Review
