Join our guests New York Times architecture critic, Michael Kimmelman, and critic and creator of McMansion Hell, Kate Wagner. All specializations create their own language, rules, and personalities that reinforce the values of those engaged in it. Architecture is no different.

So architecture's "Great Chef's" are no longer evident: like music there seem to be few standards of approval: fewer cults. So fewer Cults of Personality. Frank Lloyd Wright, Michael Graves, Zaha Hadid all personified architecture: What changed?

Über Our Buildings, Our Selves: Humanity In Architecture
Design is just one way humanity manifests itself. Our buildings simply express where our culture is. Architects often talk to other architects about architecture, in this time of explosive change, our evolving values are revealed when we understand design.
