'There is considerable literature on walking, but it barely if at all touches on architecture and landscape architecture. So Architecture and Movement is to be welcomed for enlarging our understanding of movement in all its aspects: from the proposals of designers and planners to those who actually utilize what they design, the personal reception of exploring places and the rituals of our civic life; above all how we communicate and theorize movement.' - John Dixon Hunt, Professor of the History and Theory of Landscape, Emeritus, Dept. of Landscape Architecture, University of Pennsylvania
'By showing how architectural design can be motivated by human movement and observation, Architecture and Movement is a refreshing response to architecture's usual emphasis on static composition. Drawing from rich sources in architectural history, theory, and practice, the authors present diverse examples and concepts with which architects - including designers, observers, ritual participants, and representers - can dwell on this particular type of temporality in architecture.' - Stephen Parcell, Dalhousie University
'Editors Jones and Meagher (both, Univ. of Sheffield, UK) have organized this excellent collection of 32 essays by 23 authorsmostly Sheffield University architecture facultyinto four sections that treat movement in architecture from the designers point of view, from that of the individual, as a socially shared entity, and as movement represented. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.' CHOICE, J. Quinan, emeritus, independent scholar
