James Russell is, as I have said, one of my favorite writers on architecture. Ada Louise Huxtable IS my favorite writer on architecture. And when it comes to Ground Zero, these two exemplary voices are in harmony.
Ada Louise’s piece in tomorrow’s (Thursday’s) Wall Street Journal is the most passionately persuasive piece of activist architectural criticism that I have ever seen.
She seems to think, though, that her words come too late. May events prove her wrong.
