Library Journal Review

Starred Review. Arguably, this is the most impressive professional memoir ever written by an architect. It relentlessly records the Polshek's accurate memories of his 50-year architectural career starting in Japan in 1962 and including the renovation/restoration of the old Carnegie Hall in New York City and the design/construction of the new American embassy in Muscat, Oman. The book's title validates for the architecture profession Vladimir Nabokov's famous title Speak, Memory, thereby justifying the complete motility of postmodernism, which elided Polshek's career. A second volume is in preparation, which will offer 20 more memorial designs in print. Polshek started as a premed student in middle America but switched to design as an undergraduate. His career was launched upon his graduation from the Yale School of Architecture in 1955, and he served as dean of the Columbia University School of Architecture for 15 years from 1972 to 1987. The book is fascinating, informative, intriguing, amusing, dramatic, richly illustrative, and highly instructive for all students of architecture and design. Unfortunately, there is no index or bibliography; presumably, these will appear in the second volume. The scholarship is mostly memory: fostered, enriched, and augmented by the architect's wife of 60 years, Ellyn, a lawyer to whom this book is dutifully dedicated. VERDICT For all design libraries and students of postmodernism.-Peter S. Kaufman, Boston Architectural Ctr., MA (c) Copyright 2014.
