Paul Goldberger
Escritor, professor da New School de Nova York e crítico de arquitetura da Vanity Fair, Paul Goldberger nasceu em 1950 em Nova Jersey, EUA. Seus 25 anos como colunista do New York Times lhe renderam o Pulitzer, em 1984, por sua critica à arquitetura contemporânea. De 1997 a 2011 exerceu a mesma função na New Yorker. Em seu primeiro livro Why architecture matters, lançado em 2009, argumenta que os prédios, para além de fornecer abrigo, devem ser experiências estéticas. Atualmente, Goldberger realiza palestras sobre arquitetura, design e preservação em instituições como Yale e Universidade da Califórnia.
