HERBERT MUSCHAMP

Power, Imagination and New York's Future

October 28, 2001

...it was possible to defend retrogressive architecture by asserting that the public found it pleasing. Architects should try harder to accommodate popular taste, it was believed. People were bored with International-style glass boxes. This line of thinking was exhausted some time ago. There is a growing public appetite for work with the energy to lead popular taste, not meekly follow it. Last summer, people were not breaking down doors to get into the Congress for the New Urbanism's weekend gathering in New York. They were lining up to see the show on Frank Gehry's work at the Guggenheim Museum. They were aroused by work that, like Wright's, or Brunelleschi's, found a way out of the box.
