He eloquently describes the Church of Sant'Ivo in Rome as a work that \"embraces the deepest complexities of human imagination.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In his afterword to this new edition, Goldberger addresses the current climate in architectural history and takes a more nuanced look at projects such as Thomas Jefferson's academical village at the University of Virginia and figures including Philip Johnson, whose controversial status has been the topic of much recent discourse. He argues that the emotional impact of great architecture remains vital, even as he welcomes the shift in the field to an increased emphasis on social justice and sustainability.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePaul Goldberger\u003c\/b\u003e is the Joseph Urban Professor of Design at the New School, a contributing editor at \u003ci\u003eVanity Fair\u003c\/i\u003e, and the former architecture critic for the \u003ci\u003eNew Yorker \u003c\/i\u003eand the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times, \u003c\/i\u003ewhere his criticism won the Pulitzer Prize.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 312\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.87 x 7.64 x 4.96 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 31, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47172694933753,"sku":"9780300267396","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/QUtnTTRzM0kxbVBLZ0pXb25MS3JIUT09.webp?v=1767618425","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/why-architecture-matters-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
