Biography

Paul Goldberger is a 1972 graduate of Yale University, where he studied architectural history under Vincent Scully.

Shortly after starting as a reporter at The New York Times in 1972, Goldberger was assigned to write the obituary of architect Louis Kahn, who had died suddenly of a heart attack in a bathroom in New York's Pennsylvania Station. The next year, he was named an architecture critic, working alongside Ada Louise Huxtable until 1982.

In 1984, Goldberger won the Pulitzer Prize for his architecture criticism in The Times, and in 1996, New York City mayor Rudolph Giuliani presented Goldberger with the city's Preservation Achievement Award in recognition of the impact of his work on historic preservation.

Goldberger is also the author of the book Up from Zero: Politics, Architecture, and the Rebuilding of New York and The City Observed, New York, a Guide to the Architecture of Manhattan.

In a May 2005 New Yorker column, he suggested that the best solution for rebuilding at Ground Zero would focus on residential use mixed with cultural and memorial elements.

From July 2004 until June 2006, Goldberger served as the Dean of Parsons The New School for Design, an art and design college of The New School. He currently remains the Joseph Urban Professor of Design at the institution. ^[4]

A resident of the Upper West Side of Manhattan, Goldberger is married to Susan Solomon and has three sons, Adam, Ben and Alex.
