- The book is agenda setting in addressing the political dimensions of architecture on sites often unrelated to the traditional loci of political action. It is based on novel use of ethnographic methods and extensive interviews with practitioners, 8-year fieldwork in different cities, 5 substantial case studies in Singapore, Moscow, Vienna, Birmingham, Osaka. The book was largely reviewed in architecture and planning journals: qualified by critics as "delightfully well written", "a careful, engaging, and timely work", "a superb contribution in the development (and deployment) of a methodology, a practice, by which architecture might be engaged." Translations in German and Japanese.
