Architecture
The Strange Death of Architectural Criticism
Book: Architectural Criticism
Architecture
An architectural critic of 40 years standing, Martin Pawley has presided over the discipline’s evolution from a misunderstood cultural backwater into a globe-straddling economic powerhouse.
Along the way, subtlety and nuance have been pile-driven into submission. Unashamedly pro-technology, the thread that runs through Pawley’s precise but sometimes exasperated prose is that there usually is a simple technological solution, but it’s one that’s all too often overlooked. Few writers are better at placing contemporary architecture within the wider social context.
