Baseball's Rightful Place in Architecture History: A Review of Goldberger's New Book "Ballpark"

2019-05-22T12:04:00-04:00

The ballpark building type has been overlooked from accounts of modern architecture history by its most prolific writers. With Ballpark, Paul Goldberger's treatise on the architectural history of ballpark design, he succeeds in assuring his reader that the building type is as worthy of design scholarship as any other.

Join us in celebrating Ballpark, the latest book by Paul Goldberger at Archinect Outpost on Saturday, June 1st, 5-8pm.

The doors will open at 5 and will close promptly after 6 as the conversation begins between Paul Goldberger and Paul Petrunia, the founder and director of Archinect, on the content on his newest book.

Ballpark can be preordered here for pickup at the event, or shipping immediately after the event. Please go here to RSVP for the event.

Stop the presses: Paul Goldberger's take on critical relevance in the social media age

In architecture, the rise of the 21st century media landscape has created connective tissue where none used to exist: the day-to-day work of architecture used to be relatively obscure, and now it is spotlighted and deconstructed regularly. The most successful architects are not those who shun this newfound audience, but rather engage with it. Of course, this poses a challenge for architectural journalists. New work must now be evaluated not only in the context of the built environment, but in the virtual environment as well.
