L’architecture semble avoir récemment subi un processus de dé-consécration, une sorte de sécularisation. C’est comme si elle avait perdu le pouvoir de représenter son cadre institutionnel, ou son sens de la communauté ; comme si elle avait été dépossédée de son rôle. Dans ce contexte, le point de vue du critique en architecture est de moins en moins influent. On dirait que la figure héroïque du critique a été recyclée sous la forme plus séduisante du commissaire d’exposition, du producteur d’évènement, de l’animateur, du blogueur. Le rôle de critique en architecture a-t-il disparu pour de bon, ou bien s’est-il adapté aux pressions, urgences, et tendances de la vie contemporaine, incarnant ainsi toutes leurs contradictions ? Je crois que le moment est venu d’y réfléchir.
Recently, architecture seems to have undergone a deconsecration process, a kind of secularization. It is as if it has lost the ability to represent its institutional framework, or its sense of community; in short, architecture seems to have lost its role. And in such a context, the architecture critic’s view is becoming less and less prominent. It seems as though the heroic figure of the critic has been recycled into the more captivating profile of the exhibition curator, the event producer, the showman, the blogger. Has the role of the architecture critic disappeared for good, or has it adapted to the pressures, urgencies, and fashions of contemporary life, thus embodying all their contradictions? A pause to reflect appears to be in order.
