Paul Goldberger is the architecture critic for The New Yorker, where since 1997 he has written the magazine's celebrated 'Sky Line' column. He also holds the Joseph Urban Chair in Design and Architecture at The New School in Manhattan. He began his career at The New York Times, where in 1984, he received the Pulitzer Prize for Distinguished Criticism.
'Why Architecture Matters' is not a work of architectural history or a guide to the styles or an architectural dictionary, though it contains elements of all three. The purpose of 'Why Architecture Matters' is to 'come to grips with how things feel to us when we stand before them, with how architecture affects us emotionally as well as intellectually' - with its impact on our lives. 'Architecture begins to matter', writes Paul Goldberger, 'when it brings delight and sadness and perplexity and awe along with a roof over our heads'. He shows us how that works in examples ranging from a small Cape Cod cottage to the 'vast, flowing' Prairie houses of Frank Lloyd Wright, from the Lincoln Memorial to the highly sculptural Guggenheim Bilbao and the Church of Sant'Ivo in Rome, where 'simple geometries...create a work of architecture that embraces the deepest complexities of human imagination'. Based on decades of looking at buildings and thinking about how we experience them, the distinguished critic raises our awareness of fundamental things like proportion, scale, space, texture, materials, shapes, light, and memory. Upon completing this remarkable architectural journey, readers will enjoy a wonderfully rewarding new way of seeing and experiencing every aspect of the built world.

評分建築為什麼這麼重要. Paul goldberger 個人推薦指數兩星。 推薦星數太低,並不是書裏麵的內容太差,而是我能力不夠。數瞭一下,這是我看的第十一本英文書籍。前十本英文書主要是以敘事為主,我還能夠看懂,到瞭這本書,完全逃齣瞭自己的舒適圈,很難地翻著頁碼,勉強看完瞭。...

評分作為外行,這本書在四年前還是給我帶來好些樂趣。
評分Making of Place一章
評分對建築批評感興趣的一定要讀的入門讀物!文筆贊極瞭,描述空間的章節有種聲色俱全的體驗,到全書最後寫得很燃。癡心妄想以後在美國做建築評論的夢被大神的文筆擊碎啦
