In this book we explore how GenAI (including Agentic AI) impacts quality engineering—not just as a tool to amplify development and testing, but also as a source of new risks and responsibilities.

We share what we’ve learned, what we’re still learning, and what we believe is needed to use GenAI (including Agentic AI...

This book is as much about making architecture as it is about world making. Herman Hertzberger has never considered his works as stand-alones, but always as parts of webs of connections on different scales. Shaping freedom integrates his architecture, texts, photographs, drawings, quotes, and art and architecture of others. All these layers are reciprocally related to each other. Together, they form Hertzberger’s architectural universe.

Remember when your curiosity ran wild and the question you asked yourself the most was What if? instead of Where did I put myphone?
