“The book Forging Architectural Tradition is an excellent contribution for anyone interested in the creation of national narratives around architectural buildings. It is suitable for architects, art historians, historians, sociologists, cultural researchers, and the general cultural public, as well as anyone interested in the national narratives of ‘small’ nations. The topics explored in the book should not be viewed as a part of the distant past but as still current as the historical processes described in the book can help us deal with problems related to the politicization of heritage that is still evident today.” • Prostor“The scholarly essays in this book present a sweeping panorama of this fascinating development based on new research, otherwise virtually inaccessible in English.” • József Sisa, Institute of Art History, ELKH Research Centre for the Humanities, Budapest, Hungary
