Philip Nobel

Philip Nobel is an architect, architectural critic, and author who has written about architecture at the New York Times, Curbed, Metropolis,[1][2] Artforum, Architectural Digest and other publications.[3][4][5][6] He discussed disposable diaper design on Public Radio International.[7] He lives in Brooklyn[8] and is divorced with children.[9]

A Kirkus Reviews writeup described his book Sixteen Acres about redevelopment efforts at the World Trade Center site known as Ground Zero as "unsparingly showing New York City’s power brokers taking a nation-bending hole in the ground and mixing into it a witch’s brew of ego, politics, greed, and amnesia".[10]

Nobel has stated that protest and organizing have moved online. He stated malls are becoming a place of civic engagement and training grounds for future urbanism.[11]
