What’s African About Modern African Buildings? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
MoMA’s “Architects of Liberation: Modernism in Western Africa” feels at first like a slightly esoteric architecture show. A formidable assembly of drawings, photos, and models takes viewers on a packed tour of landmarks that tourists skip: bridges, university campuses, conference centers, and office towers from the 1950s, ’60s, and ’70s. Soon, though, you get the sense that you’ve wandered into a deceptively quiet argument among strangers. Polite, slightly puzzling debates over the merits of usi
Fortress Columbia, Two Years Later (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Getting onto the Columbia University campus these days is easy, as long as you’ve already gotten into Columbia (or landed a job there).

Today, all the walls are shifting, and so are ceilings, floors, balconies, seats, and stages. Theaters, concert halls, art galleries, and amalgams of all three have acquired springs and wheels and hinges so that they can switch configurations like costumes. Buildings now have multiple personalities. The best equipped of th
