"With 190 color photographs of student works, this charming book is a treat for the eyes. A fascinating peek into modern furniture design." - Sandy Knowles , Library Journal , September 2012, "Ochsner's book on just one of the studios is enough to give interested future architects the gist. But it's also written for today's architects, maybe nostalgic for architecture school, and for academics, maybe looking to start up a furniture studio at their own school."- Lindsey M. Roberts , Architect Magazine , August 2012, "Jeffrey Ochsner has written a book that will be invaluable to furniture historians, furniture makers, architects, and design educators. The book's great strength is its telling of a local, personal story within a broader context of architectural pedagogy and philosophy." Edward Cooke, author of Making Furniture in Pre-Industrial America, "This is one of the first and is still one of the few programs in the country to embrace such studios within its architecture curriculum and no doubt it is in the genetic code of many recent modernist buildings around." -Daniel Toole , AIA Seattle Design Committee , May 2012
