"Authoritative, compelling and original scholarship… The present collection is also noteworthy because of the clarity and intelligence of the introductory presentation of Vesely and his ideas; and because of the cohesive sequence of the essays, positioning not only one after the other but because of the other, presenting an overall stance with respect to architecture’s role in culture and its history."

David Leatherbarrow, University of Pennsylvania School of Design, USA

"This is an excellent collection of Vesely’s essays, some published for the first time, which will be appreciated by a broad audience, not just architectural academics. The choice and order of chapters is very well considered and demonstrates the range and depth of Vesely’s scholarship. The introduction is beautifully written and perfectly situates the essays."

Nicholas Temple, London Metropolitan University, UK

"Vesely’s scholarship is outstanding… This is a long overdue collection that has been eagerly awaited by architects, historians and theorists for many years. It is a significant contribution to architectural thinking and makes important material available for new readers."

Mari Hvattum, The Oslo School of Architecture and Design, Norway
