NEW YORK, April 2 (UPI) -- Paul Goldberger, a Pulitzer Prize-winning architectural critic, will head the prestigious Parsons School of Design at the New School University.
Goldberger will continue to be critic for New Yorker magazine after he assumes the post of dean at Parsons, university president Bob Kerrey said in making the announcement Thursday.
Prior to joining the New Yorker staff Goldberger had been architecture critic for the New York Times, winning a Pulitzer in 1984, and a staff writer for Architectural Digest. His academic credits include teaching at Yale University and the University of California.
Goldberger's book about designing a new World Trade Center in New York to replace the one demolished by terrorists Sept. 11, 2001, will be published in September by Random House under the titled "Up from Zero: Politics, Architecture, and the Rebuilding of New York." He is also the author of the popular guide to Manhattan architecture, "The City Observed."
