'A Daily Dose of Architecture' reviews 'Wiel Arets: Autobiographical References'
'As the title makes clear, the book is as much an autobiography as a monograph… In addition to the interviews, lectures, debates, and other content from a spring 2010 studio Arets taught with Professor Robert McCarter at Washington University, the book includes a handful of project portfolios and some short project descriptions of many buildings designed by Arets… Irma Boom instills a logic to the loads of writing and photos through a design that is actually pretty simple. But the experience of holding and flipping through the book is enriched by the design, and Arets' words are like layers of meaning within the regular structure.'
