Latour for Architects is the first introduction to the key concepts and ideas of Bruno Latour that are relevant to architects.

Recenzje

"Don't get fooled by the title of Albena Yaneva's book "Latour for Architects". It is a quick, lively and precise introduction of my work for lots of other professional bodies and academics. This is the best presentation of my entire work that I am aware of."

Bruno Latour, Emeritus Professor at Science Po, Paris, France

"At a moment when more and more designers conceive of form as interplay rather than shape and outline, Latour for Architects further extends research and practice beyond the limits of the profession and into new disciplinary coalitions that are increasingly giving authority to spatial variables."

Keller Easterling, Enid Storm Dwyer Professor of Architecture, Yale University, School of Architecture, USA

"Albena Yaneva does an outstanding job in presenting Latour's most important ideas and deserves praise for organizing them in such an accessible manner. Regarding the task of explanation, the book is impressive."

Robert A. Beauregard, Emeritus Professor at the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, Columbia University, USA
