Alexandra Lange is a design critic whose work has appeared in\xa0The New Yorker,\xa0The New York Times, and many other publications. Her new book is\xa0Meet Me by the Fountain: An Inside History of the Mall.\n\u201cI really like to write about things that I can hold and experience. I'm not that interested in biography, but I am very interested in the biography of an object. ... Like I feel about the objects, I think, how most people feel about people. So what I'm always trying to do is communicate that enthusiasm and that understanding to my reader, because these objects really have a lot of speaking to do.\u201d\nShow notes:\n\n@LangeAlexandra\n\nalexandralange.net\n\n\xa0Lange on Longform\n\n00:00\xa0Lange's\xa0Design Observer\xa0archive\n\n\n00:00\xa0Lange's\xa0Curbed\xa0archive\n\n\n00:00\xa0Meet Me by the Fountain: An Inside History of the Mall\xa0(Bloomsbury \u2022 2022)\n\n15:00\xa0"Malls and the Future of American Retail"\xa0(Curbed \u2022 Feb 2018)\n\n17:00\xa0"Owings Mills Mall in 1986"\xa0(YouTube)\n\n21:00\xa0Lange's\xa0New York Magazine\xa0archive\n\n\n21:00\xa0Lange\u2019s Tumblr\n\n\n26:00\xa0Witold Rybczynski\u2019s\xa0Architect Magazine\xa0archive\n\n\n30:00\xa0The Design of Childhood: How the Material World Shapes Independent Kids\xa0(Bloomsbury \u2022 2018)\n\n35:00\xa0New Angle: Voice\xa0(Beverly Willis Architecture Foundation)\n\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
