À propos de cet audio
For more than half a century, Ada Louise Huxtable's keen eye and vivid writing have reinforced to readers how important architecture is and why it continues to be both controversial and fascinating - making her one of the best-known critics in the world.
On Architecture collects the best of Huxtable's writing from the New York Times, New York Review of Books, Wall Street Journal, and her various books. In these selections, Huxtable examines the 20th century's most important architectural masters and projects, cataloging the seismic shifts in style, function, and fashion that have led to the dramatic new architecture of the 21st century.

Terrific writing, poor narration
Ada Louis Huxtable's reviews and various essays over several decades are fantastic and incredibly interesting in their breadth. Just an absolutely erudite and often biting architectural critic. It's great to hear contemporaneous reviews from their time of creation of so many buildings and urban designs that are now seminal, or infamous. The essays are grouped by themes, movements, or architects generally, and convey her sometimes evolving take on a subject such as historical preservation, the World Trade Center site from the original buildings through the long rebuilding process, etc.
The narrator's performance however was quite poor. Mis-pronunciations of names, places, and many other words number in the hundreds, to no exaggeration. Sometimes the mis-pronunciations were not even consistent in the same piece, as though the narrator were puzzling over trying out different ways of saying a name or word. It does a real disservice unfortunately to the text, and it would be great if the publisher could have the narration re-done.
