Nicolai Ouroussoff continues his ruminations on Gwathmey and the NY5
Nicolai Ouroussoff continues his ruminations on Gwathmey and the NY5: "The early years of that decade was a time when this city was beginning to close itself off to innovative architecture. But it was also a time when New York could still claim to be the country’s center of architectural thought, and Mr. Gwathmey and his colleagues had a great deal to do with maintaining that pre-eminence in the public imagination. The New York Five came to represent the idea that architecture could still express and advance our values as a culture. To some, the group embodies the last heroic period in New York architecture." via the NYT.
