Cocktails & Conversations: Jeanne Gang and Michael Kimmelman

"The New York Times is currently running a campaign: “Truth, it’s more important now than ever.” Today, in what some are calling our “post-truth” world, the question of truth is something we confront in many different parts of architectural practice. In addition to materials, we also engage it interms of information, criticism, and representation—whether it’s renderings that are so realistic they fool us, or the diversity (or lack thereof) of the people who are represented in our images. Finally, there is also the question of truth in architectural history, which has traditionally been so narrow.There are many more architectures than those we learned in school." - Jeanne Gang
