ABSTRACT
My current work explores the position of the author, not only in relation to
theoretical ideas, art objects and architectural spaces, but also to the site of writing
itself. This interest has evolved into a number of writings (at first site-specific writings,
now site-writings) that investigate the limits of criticism, that ask what it is possible for
a critic to say about an artist or architect, a work, the site of a work and the critic
herself and for the writing to still ‘count’ as criticism.3 This chapter outlines some con-
ceptual concerns that frame my argument for the spatialization of criticism as a form of
critical spatial practice, before discussing one piece of site-writing that has transformed
over time in relation to specific sites.4
