We've said it before and we'll repeat it again: we love the mainstream media. Particularly its take on the more elusive vagaries of the profession we ourselves profess to—albeit loosely—cover. This week's New York decided to decide who, in the architecture world, has those particular qualities—influence! power!—that we ourselves have come to oh-so-relish. Inclusions run from the more Captain Obvious-inspired (Richard Meier, Bob Stern, Murray Moss) to the behind-the-scenesters (DBox-er Keith Bomely, green-er Douglas Durst, Sotheby's-er James Zemaitis). Looks like our standard architects-as-impotents party line just isn't gonna fly.
