Praise for this book

A California architect and political naif has proposed an elegant plan for a new state. Against all odds, people are listening. . . . [I]t amounts to a reimagining not only of the landscape . . . but also of the Palestinian experience. . . . It is a glimpse, so rarely seen these days, of a reconciling land, post-conflict, post-occupation, post-terrorism.
The New York Times, May 15, 2005
Clear, functional logic . . . a great project.
Architecture, January 2006
Even a total pessimist can draw optimism from the vision of the Arc.
Haaretz, April 25, 2005
