Art, damn it, art! watch (#12 in a series).

I haven’t gone fishing in a long time, so let’s dig up some stinky old bait from the cooler and see what we can catch.

Vanity Fair asked a bunch of architects (as well as some architecture critics and “deans of architecture schools”) two questions:

  • what are the five most important buildings, bridges, or monuments constructed since 1980?
  • what is the greatest work of architecture thus far in the 21st century?

Here are the answers. Here is a slideshow (Warning! Slideshow!) of the top 21 buildings. Here’s a special slideshow (Warning! Slideshow!) of the work of one architect in particular. And here’s an article about that architect and his work.

    “And here’s an article about that architect and his work.” Except for pages two and three of that three-page article, which are about several of the other multiple vote-gaining architects.
