"Two Spheres connects the reader to prevalent philosophies explored in architectural discourse, incorporates sustainability perspectives and theories, and considers the relationship of formalism to ecology... If one is searching for a book that provides a foundation for the next fifty years of architectural theory, practice priorities, and academic reorientation, this very well may be one." - Keelan P. Kaiser, Judson University, Building and Research Information
