New NY Times architecture critic

[JohnAKeith]

I guess this is the first review posted by Michael Kimmelman, the new New York Times architecture critic. Nicolai Ouroussoff left the Times in June to write a book.

Here is his review of his review:

I start covering the architecture beat today with a review of Via Verde, a housing project now rising in the South Bronx. It provides an occasion to start a conversation, to give you a place to respond to what’s written and post your own news about what you think is most important in terms of architecture and the built environment.

A few of my own concerns are laid out in the review ...

The comments' section is pretty interesting, too.
