 The Hijacking of "Modern"
Like Somali pirates marauding on the high seas, architecture critics have captured the word 'modern.'"
Kim O'Connell
 Architecture for Haiti
"Like other Americans, after the earthquake I considered modest ways in which I could contribute. ...Then I read about the wonderful work of Architecture for Humanity."
Steven W. Semes
 Spanish Interlude
"The award of this year's Richard Driehaus Prize to Spanish architect Rafael Manzano Martos is notable ... for his work in the restoration of historic monuments and – significantly – the addition in similar style of new work in historic settings."
Dan Cooper
 A Lone Voice in the Wilderness
“Oh yeah, and when you half-timber something, at least try to reflect on the original structural properties of this building technique.”
Rudy Christian
 The Arts and Crafts of Trades

"Increasingly, I feel a new consensus emerging – a new kind of modernity, if you will. It implies that we can find effective ways of dealing with the big problems of our day, which do not oblige us to bury beneath our abstractions the very things that make life worth living. And it requires we build again the types of places we all know strike a chord in our hearts – however 'modern' we are, places that convey an everlasting human story of meaning and belonging."
—His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales
