“Sometimes this can become difficult, when reading multiple perspectives the result is that we as readers of critique no longer have a clear perception of the quality of design” -Brad

“The main distinction between the two is the focus between physical reality and cultural reality (what the plant is versus what the plant is to people)”-Amy

“In depth analysis on these words made me feel a bit upset that architectural critique got so scientific. What ever happened to experiential architecture, where critiques and even researchers would study and write about what it feels like to be in a particular space, and that was the key method of critiquing architecture?”- Eun Jae

"A bicycle shed is a building; Lincoln Cathedral is a piece of ARCHITECTURE"

"So take for example a Walmart, its a non-expressive structure to me that is copied because functions well as a store. I think that this non-expressive architecture can be more economically suitable as well...Sure Bonta says even when you create a non expressive architecture you are being intentionally non-expressive which is expressive."
-Tyler
