LACMA's New Building Design Has Some People Mad — But Not Brad Pitt Or Diane Keaton
"A travesty."
"A tragic mistake"
"Suicide by architecture."
Those are a few of the reactions to LACMA's plan to tear down four of its older buildings, which date to the 1960s, and replace them with this, a broad, disc-like structure designed by Swiss architect Peter Zumthor.

How Resilient Power Puerto Rico (RPPR) Is Building Sustainable Infrastructure and Strengthening Communities
After 2017’s hurricane season—and the federal government’s sluggish response to the destruction—the Puerto Rican–born architect

Should architecture be taught in grade school?
It's a well-worn joke that many of the subjects we learned in school aren't terribly useful as adults. High school calculus forces us to memorize
L'Hôpital's rule but glosses over the practical math of budgeting. P.E. fills our days with dodgeball and the box step, not knowledge of how to maintain
an active body and mind while working 40-plus hours a week. And then there's cursive.
You know what we mean.

The Hidden Horror of Hudson Yards Is How It Was Financed
Since its official unveiling last month, critics have been teeing off on Hudson Yards, the $25 billion office-and-apartment megaproject on Manhattan’s West Side.
The Guardian’s Oliver Wainwright calls it “bargain-basement building-by-the-yard stuff that would feel more at home in the second-tier city of a developing economy.” In
Curbed, Alexandra Lange writes that it suffers from “no contrast. No weirdness, no wildness, nothing off book.” The New York Times’ Michael Kimmelman describes it as a “vast neoliberal Zion.”
