Critical Juncture: the Work of Joseph Rykwert, critic
awarded to CICA President Joseph Rykwert on 21-22 February 2014
Joseph Rykwert, President of CICA, is one of the most important critics and historians of
architecture alive today. His work has influenced generations of architects, and his
achievements are recognised this year in the RIBA’s decision to award him the Royal
Gold Medal. To commemorate his work, CICA, the V&A and the AA will host a gathering
of architecture critics from around the world to reflect on the enduring importance of his
books and journalistic criticism.
On February 21st, the Architectural Association will host a A CICA meeting and talk on the
current state of architectural criticism by celebrated American writer Michael Sorkin, with
contributions from a range of respondents, including Rowan Moore, architecture critic of
the Observer and Canadian critic Trevor Boddy.
On February 22nd, the Victoria & Albert Museum will host an all-day conference about
Rykwert’s work, chaired on behalf of the V&A by senior curator Kieran Long and on behalf
of CICA by the Mexican critic Louise Noelle. Speakers include Kenneth Frampton, Vittorio
Gregotti, David Leatherbarrow, Phyllis Lambert, Luis Fernandez-Galiano and many more.
Critical Juncture is curated by Trevor Boddy, Manuel Cuadra and Yasmin Shariff.
