"In 'Built to Inspire', Philip Jodidio has included 30 projects that represent all those variables with which houses should be thought of from now on without leaving them inspiring on an aesthetic level. Time and future generations of professionals may prove him right. This is definitely the way." [Translated by Google Translate] - Isabel Margalejo, Arquitectura y Diseño
