The Strange Death of Architectural Criticism

The Strange Death of Architectural Criticism

Martin Pawley Collected Writings

Martin Pawley (1938-2008) was one of the most significant voices in post-war architectural criticism. This book brings together 100 essays and articles that span his 40-year career, including interviews with architects, writings on contemporary design and pertinent issues facing modern architecture. By turns poignant, coruscating, controversial and humorous, he is always original and insightful.

‘Pawley’s depth of knowledge and historical range were astonishing. This book is a reminder of how refreshing and valuable architectural criticism at its best can be.’
