With its beautiful photography and insightful commentary, there is much here of great interest to both architects and fans of architecture. Perhaps the book’s introduction says it best: 'These are buildings worth knowing about.' \"—\u003ci\u003eCommunity Reporter\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"A welcome addition to the growing body of literature devoted to the importance of the arts as a means of cultural expression and revitalization for indigenous peoples. A worthy volume that deserves attention from both the scholarly crowd and the lay public.\"—\u003ci\u003eJournal of Tourism and Cultural Change\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The true value of this book lies in its extensive testimonies regarding best practices. Those who have worked in the field understand the myriad of non-standard procedures related to design, consultation, and approval. The authors have done their research, balancing it with the necessary historical, legal and economic framework.\"—\u003ci\u003eThe Canadian Architect\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The authors quote tribal members and architects with an emphasis on the direct links between stakeholders’ cultural values and design decisions. The focus is on the aesthetics and functionality of the architecture as it relates to, or is derived from a particular people or group of peoples.\"—\u003ci\u003eTribal College Journal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"That 'tribal groups are clearly communicating their cultural needs and values to designers who are listening' is the thesis of this work by Malnar and Vodvarka. Over ten chapters, the authors examine the cultural lifestyles of indigenous communities through new architecture, using 56 projects as case studies. Each chapter delves into indigenous architectural history, and meetings held with tribal members as part of the design process.\"—\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Overall, the book is successful in that it breaks new, academic ground for Indigenous architecture within the ongoing conversation about mainstream architecture. In addition, Malnar and Vodvarka rely on Native American studies scholarship, in many cases the work of Indigenous scholars, to support their argument.\"—\u003ci\u003eFirst American Art Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Marvelously illustrated and comprehensively written.
