ALL CONSERVATIVES AGREE ON ONE THING, which is that, before destroying things, we should pause to consider their merits. This principle applies to everything important, from marriage to monarchy, and also to architecture, which is a fundamental component in both those things. I was therefore pleased to be invited recently to debate the question of modern architecture, at one of the Intelligence Squared debates in London. The motion-"this house believes that Prince Charles was right, modern architecture is still all glass stumps and carbuncles"-was somewhat tendentious. After all there is good modern architecture and bad, and glass is only one part of the problem. Moreover, the debate was sponsored by the Royal Institute of British Architects and the chamber packed by the aspiring archit...

[Leon Krier]'s Poundbury, in Dorchester, England, developed in cooperation with notorious anti-Modernist Charles, Prince of Wales, exemplifies the architect's personal approach with densely packed buildings of mixed uses within meandering streets, all depicted before construction with picturesque watercolor renderings. Meanwhile, numerous projects in the United States demonstrate Krier's expanding influence: Seaside and Celebration in Florida, as well as the Kentlands in Maryland, are widely cited examples. Lecture co-sponsor Urban Design Associates has produced similar work, often with greater acknowledgement outside of Pittsburgh than in it, for decades. With Somerset at Frick Park, though, the New Urbanism has reached a higher level of commercial success and popular recognition. Whic...

Full disclosure up front: I am a Luxembourger. I never thought there were that many of us around, so when I heard there was an entire weekend of activities designed around promoting the Luxembourg culture and a fund-raising event in support of the new Luxembourg Heritage Center being built in Belgium, well, it just piqued my curiosity. It turns out there are more of us than I ever imagined. In fact, people of Luxembourg heritage living in Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota outnumber all of those living in the tiny country of Luxembourg, which boasts a population of just under a half-million.

Call him the Rush Limbaugh of architecture. Britain's Prince Charles, who picked up the Vincent Scully Prize at the National Building Museum on Thursday, has spent two decades arguing for staunchly conservative buildings and towns. He has criticized modern buildings as doing "more damage to London since World War II than the Luftwaffe managed to do during the war." He has dismissed skyscrapers as "statement buildings" that "cast long shadows ... darken streets and suck life from them." He has blamed the past 50 years of town planning for creating places with "a large degree of uniformity and monotony." He denounced a since-abandoned design for London's National Gallery as a "monstrous carbuncle.
