'A Daily Dose of Architecture' reviews 'Wiel Arets–Bas Princen'
'The two names in this book's title indicates it is not a run-of-the-mill monograph… It follows two other atypical books on the architect: Stills (010, 2011), which compiles Arets' numerous essays and interviews alongside photographs of numerous built projects; as well as Autobiographical References (Birkhäuser, 2012)... [which features] interviews between Arets and Robert McCarter. Those books are heavy on words and theory, perhaps paving the way for this book's almost total reliance on photographs… With shots that range from the typically architectural to the highly abstract, the book is about understanding buildings through the medium of photography.'
