Should architectural criticism be enlightening? Should it help in
the creation of a better built environment? Is there a factual
basis to it? Does it have a duty to present evidence in the
evaluation of a building? Or should it take on what architects say
about their designs? In the context of a flat internet, should
architectural criticism be able to define best practices? Does it
wield the power over who is in and who is out? Architectural
criticism, like all human endeavours, is at a crucial juncture.
While serious architecture struggles for recognition, much
so-called architectural criticism is merely a poorly paid,
decorative legitimation for hyperbolic practice. Incisive
architectural criticism is rare, while the definition of criticism
itself has become opaque. The 2021 International Conference on
Architecture Criticism has gathered exceptional papers that define
the purposes and methods of architectural criticism: What should be
the ethical basis of architectural criticism? Can it be objective
in the context of paid content? Should it outline ideal practices?
Or what else should it do? All contributions in this book address
either the duty or the power of architectural criticism. In both
cases, the authors offer the outline of one analysis of an existing
building.
