Abstract

The author questions himself on the existence of Criticism, on its state of health and the ways of practising it. "Places to Criticize" sets itself the objective, not so much of restoring dignity to criticism or critics, but of verifying the possibility of building hierarchies of value that do not wait for the necessarily long times of historiography. Nine aspirant critics were invited to choose as many works of architecture (or urban spaces) to try to show their good and bad points.
