"The choice of reviewers is critical. How well they express their aesthetic opinions and justify their recommendations will determine the acceptability of the process."
I've mixed feelings about this, though I used to be dead against it, so I
must be coming around to the idea. On the one hand I bristle at the thought
of some greasy, politically-connected guy arbitrating taste. If he's so
good, why isn't he designing the building?
In reality however, so many clients/builders butcher good building designs,
or demand ugly buildings, so that having some aesthete, whether you agree
with him or not, with the authority to impose some qualities on projects
might not be a bad thing....as long as I can charge per diems for all the
extra meetings.
