"Infusing 'architecture' into the performance by means of multi-media music theatre... A beautiful encounter with Louis Kahn, flowing along the rhythm and melody:' - Wen Wei Po, Hong Kong
"The success of the play...lies not only on the technical dexterity of Mathias Woo, but also his profound knowledge and thorough understanding of Louis Kahn. All these are manifested through the crystal clear exposition, which comes very naturally" - coolmoon, MJKC (Weekly Theatre Review, Taiwan)
