Couples of architects

The petition to revisit the decision to exclude Denise Scott Brown from the Pritzker Price, which was finally denied, has brought up an old debate within the profession: the situation of those who are partners of other architects not only professionally, but also sentimentally. This condition has both positive and negative aspects. On the positive side is the chance to participate actively in the architectural debate around any project: in this cases, the partner is the best and most trusted listener. On the negative side, you may not be able to disconnect from work in your leisure time. In any case, we recommend that you read the following article, written by Justin Davidson and published in New York magazine. In the latest issue, Justin Davidson uses the recent discussion regarding Denise Scott Brown's Pritzker Prize or lack thereof, to examine the myth of the solitary auteur and the growing reality of the married-­partner model.
