Today the New York Times's new architecture critic Michael Kimmelman takes on the parking lot--he suggests that "we ought to take these lots more seriously, architecturally" while acknowledging that "cars aren’t going away anytime soon, certainly not in the suburbs or in cities like Los Angeles." He writes that as long as we need parking lots, we ought to make them more human-friendly, like the one at upstate New York museum Dia:Beacon, which has a treescape designed by the artist Robert Irwin (he also designed the palm trees at LACMA).
