Michael David Sorkin, né le 2 août 1948 et mort le 26 mars 2020, est un architecte urbaniste américain, auteur et éducateur basé à New York. Il est considéré comme une voix provocatrice et polémique dans la culture contemporaine et dans la conception des lieux urbains au tournant du XXIe siècle. En plus d'être un professeur réputé dans de nombreuses grandes écoles d'architecture, il est critique d'architecture pour Village Voice et chroniqueur invité dans de nombreuses publications. Il est directeur du programme d'études supérieures en design urbain au City College de New York. Revue de presse : "[Michael Sorkin] is brave, principled, highly informed, and fiercely funny. Read him and laugh; read him and weep; but read him, to see why the ’80s were so bad for American building”—Robert Hughes. “Michael Sorkin is the Lenny Bruce of American architecture: satirist, moralist, agent provocateur... His courageous, outrageous and often hilarious insights into the architectural culture of our times are expressed with antic brilliance and deep conviction.”—House and Garden. “To read Sorkin is to discover a genuine love of urbanism’s best offerings and a humanistically rooted disdain for the greedy and opportunistic types who view the city as a deregulated zone for plundering.”—Chicago Tribune. “...a formidable opponent of the banal, the ugly, the stupid and the vapidly posturing which, he argues, are all around us... a punchy, provocative collection.”—Publishers Weekly. “A thorn in the flesh of America’s more complacent architects—especially the postmodernists—Sorkin proves that it’s possible to write with wit, passion and insight about architecture.”—The Guardian (London). “Michael Sorkin’s brand of writing... is to thoughtful criticism what the Ayatollah Khomeini is to religious tolerance...”—Paul Goldberger.Biographie de l'auteur : Michael Sorkin is an award-winning architect and Distinguished Professor of Architecture and Director of the Graduate Program in Urban Design at the City College of New York. His books include The Next Jerusalem, After the World Trade Center, Twenty Minutes in Manhattan and All Over the Map.
