Architecture criticism#Architectural journalists and critics

Architecture criticism is the critique of architecture. Everyday criticism relates to published or broadcast critiques of buildings, whether completed or not, both in terms of news and other criteria. In many cases, criticism amounts to an assessment of the architect's success in meeting his or her own aims and objectives and those of others. The assessment may consider the subject from the perspective of some wider context, which may involve planning, social or aesthetic issues. It may also take a polemical position reflecting the critic's own values. At the most accessible extreme, architectural criticism is a branch of lifestyle journalism, especially in the case of high-end residential projects.

Media coverage

Most major national newspapers in developed countries cover the arts in some form. Architectural criticism may be included as a part of their arts coverage, in a real estate section or a Home & Style supplement.{{Cite web|last=Goldberger |first=Paul |title=Architecture Criticism: Does It Matter |work=Paul Goldberger |accessdate=2008-07-10 |date=2003-11-12 |url=http://www.paulgoldberger.com/speeches.php?speech=criticism |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070622164550/http://www.paulgoldberger.com/speeches.php?speech=criticism |archivedate=June 22, 2007 }} In the US, reviews are published in specialist magazines ranging from the popular (e.g. Architectural Digest, Wallpaper) to specialist magazines for design professionals (e.g. Architectural Review, DETAIL). As with other forms of criticism, technical language is used to a varying extent to convey impressions and views precisely. The rapidly changing media environment means that much criticism is now published in online journals and publications, and critics write for a range of publications rather than being employed full-time by newspapers.

Lewis Mumford wrote extensively on architecture in the nineteen thirties, forties and fifties at The New Yorker. Ada Louise Huxtable was the first full-time architecture critic working for an American daily newspaper when The New York Times gave her the role in 1963. John Betjeman, a co-founder of the Victorian Society, wrote and broadcast from the 1950s to 1970s, principally covering historical rather than new buildings, but contributing to a trend for criticism to expand into radio and then television. Charles, Prince of Wales, is outspoken in his criticism of modern architecture, memorably describing a proposed extension to the National Gallery in London as a "monstrous carbuncle on the face of a much-loved friend".

In 2017, the New Architecture Writers program was established in London to address the underrepresentation of black and minority ethnic writers in architecture and design criticism and curation.{{Cite web|url=http://newarchitecturewriters.org/about/|title=About|website=New Architecture Writers|language=en|access-date=2019-03-10}} The free program was initiated by Phineas Harper and Tom WiIkinson and aims to develop the journalistic skill, editorial connections and critical voice of its participants. It is supported by the Architectural Review, The Architecture Foundation, the Royal College of Art and the RIBA Journal.{{Cite web|url=https://archpaper.com/2018/07/new-architecture-writers-program/|title=New Architecture Writers program raises underrepresented voices|date=2018-07-30|website=Archpaper.com|language=en-US|access-date=2019-03-10}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.architectural-review.com/today/naw-free-architectural-writing-course-for-bame-aspiring-design-critics/10024202.article|title=NAW: Free architectural writing course for BAME aspiring design critics|website=Architectural Review|date=9 October 2017|language=en|access-date=2019-03-10}} Inaugural participants were Josh Fenton, Shukri Sultan, Thomas Aquilina, Aoi Phillips, Nile Bridgeman, Samson Famusan, Siufan Adey, Tara Okeke, and Marwa El Mubark.{{Cite web|url=http://newarchitecturewriters.org/members/members/|title=Members 2017/2018|last=Harper|first=Phineas|date=2019-01-08|website=New Architecture Writers|language=en|access-date=2019-03-11}}

Changing contexts

The rapidly changing media landscape has impacted on architectural criticism and shifted both modes of criticism and the media in which it is published. Recent books that explore these issues include Writing About Architecture: Mastering the Language of Buildings and Cities by Alexandra Lange (2012) and Semi-detached: Writing, representation and criticism in architecture, edited by Naomi Stead (2012).{{Cite book|title=Writing about architecture : mastering the language of buildings and cities|last=Alexandra|first=Lange|date=2012|publisher=Princeton Architectural Press|others=Lange, Jeremy M.|isbn=9781616890537|edition= 1st|location=New York|oclc=747018933}}{{Cite web|url=https://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/03/02/why-dont-we-read-about-architecture/|title=Why Don't We Read About Architecture?|last=Arieff|first=Allison|authorlink=Allison Arieff|date=2012-03-02|website=Opinionator|language=en-US|access-date=2019-03-10}}{{Cite book|title=Semi-detached : writing, representation and criticism in architecture|date=2012|publisher=Uro Media|others=Stead, Naomi, 1975-|isbn=9780987228130|location=Melbourne|oclc=799159939}}

A number of essays also reflect on the contemporary state of architectural criticism, the changing media and contexts of production, and the futures of criticism. These include:

Criteria

The critic's task is to assess how successful the architect and others involved with the project have been in meeting both the criteria the project set out to meet and those that the critic himself feels to be important. Specific criteria include:
