Alan Colquhoun—an architect, educator and critic from London who moved to the United States in the late 1970s to teach at Princeton—died in mid-December at the age of 91. From this triumvirate of titles, he will be remembered primarily as a critic, having penned numerous essays on modern architecture and writing a book on the same subject in 2002. An issue of the Dutch publication Oasewas devoted to Colquhoun last year; editor Christoph Grafe recounted (along with others) how he was impressed "by the lucidity and the elegance of his argument" and that, even in failing health, "he never lost his curiosity and readiness to engage with new ideas."
