Cheryl Kent

Trained as a journalist, Cheryl Kent's work is deeply researched and is informed by her nearly 25 years as an architecture writer and critic. Her recent books have told the stories of heroic efforts to realize unique, monumental urban projects. She writes about more than architecture: she writes about the labor that brings it into being, the city into which it is fitted, the social context that gives it meaning and the wonder with which such miracles are received.

Kent’s articles and essays have appeared in The New York Times, The International Herald Tribune, Architectural Record, Metropolis. Progressive Architecture (for which she was the Chicago Correspondent), Design (London), The Chicago Tribune, World Architecture (London), Historic Preservation, and the Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians.
