A horrible day for architecture.
I havenât felt this empty inside since Zaha Hadid died.
Thanksgiving is ruined.

Stern was a great one. 15 CPW really got him rolling (though he had a lot of earlier wonderful buildings) and he never stopped. His buildings will leave an indelible mark on the development of a new architectural style in the city.

The Death of the Stararchitect - Architect Magazine
My current students have never heard of Bjarke Ingels, Liz Diller, or Norman Foster. Pressed to name an architect practicing today they admire, they shrug. In fact, the only modern or contemporary architects they have heard of are Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, and Santiago Calatrava (but only because of the Oculus in New York) âand two of those are deceased.
After decades of moaning and groaning about so-called âstarchitectureâ as the bane of the profession, we now seem to be entering into a new era in which names do not matter and there are no idols. Is that a good thing?
Iâm skeptical of how universal your anecdote is.
A certain percentage of architecture career path students have always been the âwell Iâm good at math so maybe Iâll try architectureâ person. Maybe you just have a lot more of those students this year. Then youâre always going to have a much smaller percentage of students that are the passionate knowledgeable types that have been building, drawing and geeking out on architecture and urbanism since they were little kids and whoâs knowledge rival their instructors right out of the gate. Those are much rarer. They also congregate on forums like this one.
