Double-weighted statement

This single authored book book, together with the book Made by OMA (2009), gained recognition within the community of academics and architectural professionals and the author was awarded the RIBA President's Award for Outstanding University-located Research (2010) "for her work An Ethnography of Architecture". The judges said: 'This type of sociological and anthropological research into design practice is significant for architecture, adding a new perspective to the way we understand architectural processes. The two books are enjoyable to read, linking through hypertextual narratives an impressive quantity of historical information and technical data, stories and anecdotes, theoretical research and empirical observations."
