lollardfishNY Times reviews the new Guthrie in Minneapolis.
I really dislike this kind of writing. On the other hand, writing compellingly about architects and architecture is difficult, as one has to put into words the "feelings" that space is supposed to evoke. On the other other hand, I like food writing that has to describe tastes and textures, so good architectural writing should be doable. On yet another hand (can I borrow yours, please), there is plenty of art historical writing that I find thoroughly compelling, so maybe it's just this author.
