Imagine if architecture critics practiced with sufficient rigor to be taken seriously by architects? This book is a brave and original attempt to bring together two antagonistic cultures. It points the way to a better-performing future-for critics, for architects, and for those of us, all of us, who would benefit from a built world capable of learning from the lessons of the present.' - Philip Nobel, Editorial Director, SHoP Architects 'Imagine if architects were trained to respond dynamically to their critics?

The international roster of contributing architects, planners, critics, and academics offer compelling arguments and case studies that should be fodder for debate in many spheres for many years to come.' - Kristen Richards, Hon.
