The digital revolution in publishing has resulted in a wealth of online content; left behind, however, is a rich store of material which has limited cultural presence because it has limited digital presence. In line with Places’ commitment to public scholarship, “Future Archive” spotlights significant works of 20th-century criticism or history; each installment will feature the full text of the older article, introduced and contextualized by a contemporary scholar.
In This Series:
- Future Archive: "Hitler's Revenge" (Introduction by Despina Stratigakos. Archival text by Sibyl Moholy-Nagy.): Once a formidable critic and teacher, and now largely forgotten, Sibyl Moholy-Nagy deserves new attention.
- Future Archive: “Architecture and Popular Taste” (Introduction by Gabrielle Esperdy. Archival Text by Douglas Haskell.): Douglas Haskell was a leading figure in 20th-century design journalism. His work deserves to be better known.
- Future Archive: “An architecture which is whole” (Introduction by Keith Eggener. Archival Text by Vincent Scully.): Vincent Scully has long been one of our leading architectural historians, and one of the most confident and audacious. Even when wrong he was stirringly, scintillatingly wrong.
