Realms of Impossibility Reviews

...three mini books that invite the reader to make connections between the three volumes and cultivate a fantasy approach to architecture in favour of pragmatics... (Building Design, 5 July 2002) exciting and meticulously detailed graphics beautifully executed irresistibly touchable (Graphics International, No.96, 2002) compelling intelligent and useful as a document, Lim has created inspirational stuff (Monument, August/September 2002)
