Jeffrey Kipnis
Architecture Critic
Bio
For more than two decades Jeffrey Kipnis’s work has shaped the thinking, imagination and
creative work of architects and critics. From seminal studies of the work of such key
practitioners as Philip Johnson, Peter Eisenman, Rem Koolhaas and Daniel Libeskind,
to theoretical reflections on the intellectual, cultural and political role of contemporary
architecture in such essays as Toward a New Architecture, Twisting the Separatrix and
Political Space I, to his award-winning film on the work of Frank Gehry, to exhibitions
on architectural drawing and design, Kipnis has brought a restless, generous and provocative
originality to bear on the issues that have defined contemporary architecture.
