 | Paul Goldberger |
Paul Goldberger '72, a Pulitzer Prize-winning architectural critic who writes for The New Yorker, will visit the campus on Monday and Tuesday, Nov. 11 and 12, as a Poynter Fellow in Journalism.
Goldberger will take part in two public events on Nov. 11. First, he will be the guest at a tea at 3 p.m. at the Morse College master's house, 99 Tower Pkwy. Following the tea, at 4:30 p.m., he will present a lecture titled "After the World Trade Center: The Struggle To Make a City for Our Time" in Rm. 102 of Linsly-Chittenden Hall, 63 High St. All are welcome to both events.
Goldberger is considered one of the nation's foremost writers in the field of architecture, design and urbanism. He has been the architecture critic at The New Yorker since 1997. As the magazine's architecture critic, he continues its celebrated "Sky Line" column, which was previously written by Lewis Mumford and, later, by Brendan Gill.
Goldberger is the author of several books, including the text for "The World Trade Center Remembered," just published by Abbeville Press, and "Manhattan Unfurled," which was just published by Random House. He is now at work on a book about the redevelopment of the World Trade Center in lower Manhattan, which will be published by Random House in 2003. In addition, he is working on a book about the experience of looking at architecture.
The recipient of a Pulitzer Prize in 1984 for his architecture criticism, Goldberger had a 25-year career at The New York Times. He joined the staff of the Times in 1972 and was named architecture critic a year later. In 1990 he was named cultural news editor of The New York Times and in 1994 he became the paper's chief cultural correspondent.
Goldberger lectures widely around the country on the subject of architecture, design, historic preservation and cities, and for several years taught architecture criticism at the Yale School of Architecture. He has also served as a special consultant to several major cultural and educational institutions.
In addition to the Pulitzer Prize, Goldberger has been honored with the President's Medal of the Municipal Art Society of New York, the medal of the American Institute of Architects and the Medal of Honor of the New York Landmarks Preservation Foundation, among other awards. In 1993 he was named a Literary Lion, the New York Public Library's tribute to distinguished writers. In 1995, former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani presented him with the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission's Preservation Achievement Award in recognition of the impact of his writing on historic preservation in New York.
The Poynter Fellowship was established in 1971 by newspaper mogul Nelson Poynter '27 M.A. Over the years, it has hosted visits to Yale by some of the best-known by-lines, voices and visages in the news media -- from newspaper reporters and editors to news broadcasters, documentary filmmakers, communications experts and media critics.
