  • "Grace Farms is a trophy building, not a light-on-the-land wilderness retreat"

    Opinion: SANAA's new river-inspired building in New Canaan may be beautiful, says Alexandra Lange, but it is still unclear whether its community-focussed programme will be useful to anyone. More

  • "Let's stop acting like the wedge is not architecture"

    Opinion: the wedge – a form covered in grass and glass – has become an increasingly popular device for disguising architecture as landscape, says Alexandra Lange. More

  • "Can Heatherwick produce architecture that is more than a gimmick or a gadget?"

    Opinion: as Thomas Heatherwick's Provocations exhibition opens in New York, Alexandra Lange questions whether the British designer has done enough yet to prove he can also produce well-built permanent architecture. More

  • "Women were unwelcome in architecture, but male architects couldn't live without them"

    Opinion: an exhibition at New York's Museum of Arts and Design about women's role in postwar Modernism highlights the uneasy gender imbalance between craft and industrial design, says Alexandra Lange. More

  • "Games that have withstood the fads of fashion and television should look like it"

    Opinion: in a desperate grab to attract the attention of children reared on digital devices, board game manufacturers have forgotten that interaction design matters more than brand extensions, says Alexandra Lange. More

  • "Was it too much to hope for first a woman and then a partnership?"

    Opinion: despite significant improvements last year, architecture's archaic equality problems haven't gone away. The American Institute of Architects' decision to award its 2015 Gold Medal to another mature white man isn't helping, says Alexandra Lange. More

  • "History does change perception"

    Opinion: sometimes it becomes important to save a building that doesn't seem to work. Such is the case for Michael Graves' Postmodernist exemplar, the Portland Building, says Alexandra Lange.  More

  • "Six points of viral architecture"

    Opinion: the way we consume architecture online has changed thanks to social media, creating a new genre of imagery – meme-tecture. Alexandra Lange offers her guide to making an architectural meme.  More

  • "There's still one more park taboo to be broken"

    Opinion: the AstroTurf lawn installed on the roof of New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art symbolises the next step in our acceptance and desire for artificial nature, says Alexandra Lange. More

  • "Making something big happen at an urban scale is more than a popularity contest"

    Opinion: crowdfunding platforms have rules about pitching for money to make products that haven't been developed to prototype stage – the same rules should apply to crowdfunding campaigns for civic projects, says Alexandra Lange. More

  • "3D printers have a lot to learn from the sewing machine"

    Opinion: a digitally-driven revival of interest in sewing proves that people want to create, but the 3D-printing movement is failing to cater to a market that wants something practical and beautiful, says Alexandra Lange. More

  • "We need more museums that let us relax into knowledge"

    Opinion: a 1960s institution in Mexico that gives visitors space and time to wander is a stark contrast to the commodified museum experience that has become the norm, says Alexandra Lange. More

    Alexandra Lange | 27 March 2014 | 2 comments
  • "How can you learn about the world in spaces without character?"

    Opinion: watching the demolition of her own elementary school, Alexandra Lange reflects on the increasingly generic design of schools, museums and playgrounds that resign children to "places where all they can learn are the tasks we set them." More

  • "It's easy to make fun of Bjarke Ingels on Instagram"

    Opinion: in her first column for Dezeen, critic Alexandra Lange argues that architects are misusing platforms like Twitter and Tumblr. "Architects need to start thinking of social media as the first draft of history," she writes. More
