Ouroussoff Out

The Architect's Newspaper blog has gotten ahold of a New York Times memo announcing that the paper's architecture critic Nicolai Ouroussoff is leaving at the end of this month. The former LA Times architecture critic plans "to write a book about the architectural and cultural history of the last 100 years, 'from Adolf Loos’s Vienna and the utopian social experiments of post-revolutionary Russia to postwar Los Angeles and the closing years of the 20th century,' as Nicolai describes it."
