"He [Self] lucidly dissects how each of these often complicated buildings works in its context, how it is perceived and moved through by visitors, how exhibitions can be hung given the architectural strategies...how the buildings are structured and constructed, how mechanical and environmental systems operate, and how each is serviced." -David Heymann, Cite Magazine, "He [Self] lucidly dissects how each of these often complicated buildings works in its context, how it is perceived and moved through by visitors, how exhibitions can be hung given the architectural strategies...how the buildings are structured and constructed, how mechanical and environmental systems operate, and how each is serviced." -David Heymann, Cite Magazine "The Architecture of Art Museums presents a terrific summation of the building type over the first decade of the twenty-first century and is the definitive reference work on the subject. It belongs on the shelf of any architect engaged in museum design." --Eric Michael Wolf, Journal of Architectural Education
