Why Architecture Matters

Why Architecture Matters
by Paul Goldberger
Yale University Press, 2009

Goldberger is best known as an architectural critic with the New York Times, where he won a Pulitzer Prize, and more recently with The New Yorker. This is not merely a collection of reviews from those publications, but rather a whole new work focused on exploring the importance of architecture in the context of our social culture. He covers a wide range of material very competently and delivers clear, practical ideas that help build a greater appreciation for architecture.
